This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that give strokes a calligraphic, chiseled finish. Vertical stems feel sturdy while hairlines thin noticeably, producing a clear thick–thin rhythm across both cases. The capitals are compact and formal with crisp apexes and pronounced serifs, while the lowercase shows lively italic construction with single‑storey forms (notably a and g), angled entry strokes, and rounded bowls that stay controlled rather than flamboyant. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, reading cleanly with open counters and firm baseline presence.
It performs well in editorial environments such as magazine features, book typography, and article openers, especially where an italic style is used for emphasis, pull quotes, or titling. The strong contrast and sharp detailing also make it effective for headlines and short-to-medium passages where a classic, elevated texture is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, combining a bookish seriousness with a brisk, energetic italic voice. It feels refined and authoritative, suited to settings where a classic impression is desired but with extra momentum and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with the expressive lift of a robust italic, balancing readability with a more dramatic thick–thin cadence. It aims to provide a polished, traditional tone for publishing contexts while retaining enough bite for display emphasis.
Stroke modulation remains consistent across the set, and the italic angle is steady, giving lines a cohesive forward flow. Pointed details—especially in diagonals and terminals—add crispness, while the serifs provide strong anchoring for text and display use.
