This typeface is a right-leaning serif with a strong, calligraphic rhythm and wedge-like, flared terminals. Strokes show clear modulation, with thicker main stems and tapered transitions into sharp serifs and pointed ends, creating a crisp, slightly chiseled silhouette. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with rounded counters and lively curves that keep the texture dense but readable; the lowercase shows a single-storey “g” and “a” with pronounced entry/exit strokes, while capitals carry substantial weight and firm, sculpted serifs. Numerals match the same angled stress and tapered finishing, giving the set a cohesive, italic-forward color on the page.
It performs best in display sizes where the flared terminals and stroke modulation can be appreciated—headlines, magazine features, book covers, and pull quotes. The bold italic texture also makes it effective for emphatic hierarchy in editorial layouts and short, impactful lines in posters or promotions.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a confident, emphatic presence that reads as editorial rather than delicate. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals add urgency and momentum, making it feel formal but not static.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic serif authority while adding motion and emphasis through an italic stance and flared, wedge-like endings. The intention seems to balance traditional readability with a sharper, more expressive headline character.
The design’s defining gesture is the flare into serif-like endings rather than flat slabs, producing pointed joins and a slightly engraved look in diagonals and curves. In text, the consistent rightward movement and sturdy forms create a strong typographic “voice” suited to attention-getting settings.
