A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The curves are full and weighty, with tight internal counters and a strong dark color on the page. Terminals often taper or finish with a subtle flare, and the italic construction shows calligraphic stress with energetic diagonals. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their inner spaces, creating a punchy, ink-rich rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium text that benefits from strong emphasis. It works well for editorial layouts, book or magazine titling, and brand applications that want a classic serif tone with extra force and motion.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic voice. Its strong slant and high-contrast drawing add urgency and sophistication, suggesting established print culture rather than casual or playful use.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened emphasis—combining a familiar text-serif structure with bold weight and italic energy for commanding, attention-grabbing typography.
Letterforms show consistent slanted axis and robust joins, producing a cohesive texture at display sizes. The combination of heavy stems and sharp serifs favors impact over delicate refinement, while still reading as a conventional serif family style.
