A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper into sharp points. Strokes show a calligraphic, slightly “wedge” logic, with angled stress and firm, sculpted joins that give the letters a carved, inked feel. Proportions are moderately wide and open, with round forms kept taut and slightly compressed by the italic flow; terminals often finish in small hooks or teardrop-like ends, especially in the lowercase. Numerals follow the same energetic slant and contrast, reading clearly while retaining the face’s lively, engraved texture.
This face is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and pull quotes where an expressive italic serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and formal announcements that benefit from a classic voice with added drama, performing best at display and larger text sizes where contrast and detailing can breathe.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a theatrical flourish. It evokes bookish refinement and old-style print culture, but the energetic italic and swashy detailing add a sense of motion and emphasis suited to expressive display lines.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an assertive italic personality—combining classic proportions and serifs with heightened contrast and calligraphic terminals for emphasis and elegance in setting.
In text, the italic rhythm is continuous and emphatic, with noticeable entry/exit strokes and a strong diagonal pull. The contrast and pointed serif tips create sparkle at larger sizes, while the rounded lowercase details keep it from feeling overly rigid.
