This typeface is a right-leaning serif with strong thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared terminals that give many strokes a chiselled, calligraphic finish. Serifs are compact and angular with a lightly bracketed feel, while joins and curves show crisp transitions that emphasize contrast. Capitals are relatively tall and narrow, with pointed inner apexes and wedge-like stroke endings; round letters (C, O, Q) keep tight apertures and controlled bowls. Lowercase forms are energetic and slightly condensed, with distinctive hooked and curling descenders (notably g, j, y) and a flowing, italic rhythm across words.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium voice, and for book-cover typography where a dramatic italic serif is desired.
The overall tone reads as refined and emphatic—suited to elevated, tradition-leaning typography while still feeling animated due to the slanted, calligraphic stroke behavior. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast project authority and drama, lending a polished editorial presence rather than an understated, utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive italic serif with a flared, engraved-like finish—balancing classical proportions with a sharper, more theatrical stroke treatment to create strong headline impact.
The numerals follow the same sculpted, high-contrast construction, with angled entry/exit strokes and narrow proportions that keep figures compact in running text. The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the counters remain relatively small, which heightens density and punch at display sizes.
