A sharply slanted serif with very heavy strokes and pronounced contrast between thick mains and tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with teardrop terminals and occasional ball-like details that reinforce a calligraphic, cut-pen feel. Curves are compact and sturdy, counters are relatively tight, and joins often pinch slightly, creating a crisp, chiseled rhythm. The lowercase shows lively, handwritten modulation (notably in a, f, g, y), while caps remain stately and structured with strong vertical emphasis and broad, confident diagonals.
Best suited to display typography where its bold, high-contrast italic forms can carry emphasis—headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, posters, and book or magazine covers. It can also support branding and packaging that want a traditional, crafted tone, especially when used in short phrases or title-case settings.
The overall tone is classic and rhetorical—confident, slightly theatrical, and rooted in traditional print typography. Its dramatic weight and italic energy give it a persuasive, headline-forward voice that feels at home in historical or editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama: an italic built for impact, using calligraphic terminals and strong contrast to produce a distinctive, print-like texture. It prioritizes expressive stroke modulation and presence over neutrality, aiming to make titles and emphasis lines feel authoritative and crafted.
Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with strong diagonals and distinctive curves that match the italic flow. Spacing appears moderately tight at text sizes, with bold forms that create a dark, continuous texture; it benefits from generous leading in longer settings to avoid a too-solid color.
