A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design shows a calligraphic stress and tapered joins, with compact counters and a sturdy, weighty presence that keeps strokes dark in text. Uppercase forms are sharp and orderly with wedge-like feet and clean, controlled curves, while the lowercase is more dynamic, showing energetic entry/exit strokes and tight, rhythmic spacing. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, with strong vertical emphasis and neatly finished terminals.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and other display-forward settings where high contrast and italic motion can carry tone. It also works well for book covers, pull quotes, and branded messaging that benefits from a classic serif voice with extra emphasis and pace.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting established publishing and cultured formality. Its slanted, high-contrast drawing adds a sense of speed and rhetoric—confident and slightly dramatic rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive italic cadence—combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with heightened contrast and a bold, attention-grabbing color on the page.
In the sample text, the texture is distinctly dark and emphatic, with letterforms that read as refined but forceful at display sizes. The italic angle and sharp serif details give it a pronounced personality, making it feel more like a headline or pull-quote serif than an unobtrusive book face.
