A slanted serif with sturdy, dark strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic, oldstyle influence: curved entry/exit strokes, slightly modulated bowls, and tapered terminals that keep the heavy weight from feeling blunt. Capitals are broad and stable with strong horizontals and crisp serifs, while the lowercase is more fluid, with rounded bowls (a, e, o) and a single-storey a that emphasizes an italic handwriting feel. Counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is tight and energetic, with letterforms that lean forward and hold a consistent, confident texture in text.
It performs best in display and headline roles where its weight and slant create immediate emphasis—magazine titles, editorial openers, book covers, posters, and branded pull quotes. It can also work for short text blocks or lead-ins where a dense, classic texture is desirable.
The tone is classic and editorial, blending bookish tradition with a forward-leaning, emphatic voice. It reads as confident and authoritative—suited to serious messaging—yet retains a warm, human trace from its calligraphic construction.
The design appears intended as a traditional text-serif italic pushed toward headline impact: strong color on the page, clear serif cues for credibility, and italic energy for emphasis and momentum. It aims to feel familiar and literary while still reading assertive at larger sizes.
Numerals are robust and legible with clear differentiation and strong baseline presence. The italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis in display settings, while the serif structure and steady stroke control keep the texture cohesive across mixed-case text.
