A dynamic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly modulated strokes. Thick verticals contrast with hairline joins and tapered diagonals, while stroke endings frequently widen into flared, wedge-like terminals that read as sharp yet slightly brush-informed. Serifs are bracketed and energetic rather than mechanical, with pointed beaks and curved entry strokes that create a lively, forward rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally rooted: compact, robust capitals; a moderate x-height; and somewhat generous extenders, all contributing to an assertive page color.
Best used for display and short-to-medium passages where contrast and italic energy can be appreciated, such as magazine headlines, book cover titling, cultural posters, and premium brand wordmarks. It can work in editorial subheads and pull quotes, particularly at sizes where fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and expressive—suited to confident, high-impact typography that still feels literary. Its italic motion and sharp, flaring details add urgency and drama, giving text an editorial voice associated with heritage publishing and classic branding.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif authority with an expressive italic voice, using flared terminals and strong contrast to deliver impact without abandoning traditional proportions. It aims for a polished, publishable texture that feels both established and energetic.
The letterforms show varied, calligraphic detailing—especially in diagonals and curved joins—producing a slightly irregular, hand-press warmth despite the crisp contrast. Numerals and capitals carry a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear counters and distinct shapes.
