A slanted serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are broad and smoothly modeled, while joins and terminals stay crisp, creating a polished, engraved-like texture. The capitals read sturdy and slightly compact, with rounded bowls and confident horizontals; lowercase forms show lively italic construction with flowing shoulders and angled entries. Numerals are weighty and open, matching the strong contrast and maintaining clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where a traditional serif voice is desired with extra punch. It also works well for book covers, cultural posters, and branding that wants classic credibility and a distinctly italic, high-impact texture.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its energetic italic rhythm adds drama and motion, balancing formality with a touch of expressive calligraphy. The color on the page is rich and dense, lending a serious, established voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and an assertive, slanted stance for emphasis. It aims for classic refinement while remaining attention-getting in display settings, producing an elegant but forceful typographic presence.
In text, the strong contrast and bold presence produce a dark typographic color, making word shapes prominent and giving lines a stately cadence. The italic angle is consistent and the serif treatment stays disciplined, supporting coherent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
