A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and an italic construction that produces a lively, forward rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with wedge-like terminals that feel calligraphic rather than geometric. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins and curves show a soft modulation that keeps heavy strokes from feeling rigid. The lowercase has a notably large x-height for the style, with compact ascenders/descenders and energetic entry/exit strokes that read well at display and text sizes.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a strong typographic color and classic serif voice are desired. It can also serve for book covers, pull quotes, and brand identities that want traditional credibility with added movement from the italic structure. In paragraph settings it produces a dark, authoritative texture that favors print-like layouts and larger text sizes.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining a traditional bookish voice with a confident, slightly theatrical emphasis. Its slanted, strongly modulated strokes add momentum and warmth, giving it a persuasive, headline-ready character while still feeling grounded in conventional serif typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with extra energy and emphasis, using italic posture and pronounced contrast to create impact. It aims to bridge conventional text typography and display presence, offering a familiar literary tone that still stands out in modern editorial composition.
Figures appear lining with clear contrast and strong vertical stress, matching the weight and texture of the capitals. The design maintains a consistent dark color on the page, with crisp serifs and confident curves that create a dense, readable texture in paragraphs.
