A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a confident, display-leaning color. The serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with sharp terminals and occasional calligraphic flicks that add movement without becoming ornate. Counters are compact and the joins are energetic, producing a lively rhythm in text. Figures and capitals share the same assertive contrast and forward stress, giving headings a cohesive, emphatic presence.
This style performs best in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the contrast and slant can be appreciated. It also suits magazine and book-jacket typography, and can add a refined, energetic voice to branding and packaging when used at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, with a dramatic, fashion-forward flair from the strong contrast and italic posture. It reads as confident and slightly theatrical, suited to designs that want classic authority with added motion and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and an italic-driven sense of speed and emphasis. It aims for an authoritative editorial feel while remaining expressive enough for display typography.
In the grid, the lowercase shows noticeable variation in width and stroke emphasis from glyph to glyph, which contributes to a dynamic texture. The italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, and the sharp, tapered terminals help maintain crispness at larger sizes.
