A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. The serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, with tapered entries and occasional teardrop-like terminals that emphasize the diagonal stress. Uppercase forms feel compact and sturdy, while lowercase letters show lively curves, a single-storey “g,” and expressive descenders that add motion without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and sloped stance, giving the set a cohesive, print-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and titling where the strong contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also serve for short editorial passages or introductions when a classic, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining traditional bookish cues with a more theatrical, display-ready slant. It reads as premium and composed, with enough flourish to feel expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an italic-led, high-contrast personality for impactful reading and sophisticated display. It prioritizes elegance and pace—giving text a forward motion while keeping forms rooted in familiar serif construction.
Spacing and proportions create a slightly condensed, forward-leaning color that holds together well in larger settings. The italic angle and sharp terminals can make fine details feel energetic, especially in tight lines or when reversed out.
