A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs, giving the forms a carved, calligraphic look. Capitals are broad and open with crisp terminals and tapered joins, while the lowercase shows lively cursive influence in the angled stress and swelling strokes. Counters are generous, curves are bold and rounded, and many letters feature subtle flaring and spur-like details that add texture at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same rhythmic contrast and forward motion, with rounded bowls and sharp, clean finishing strokes.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where its contrast and slant can provide impact, especially in magazines, posters, and book-cover titling. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a classic serif voice with added motion and personality, and for short editorial passages where a more expressive text texture is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, projecting confidence and a slightly theatrical elegance. Its forward slant and energetic contrast create a sense of momentum, while the traditional serif structure keeps it rooted in familiar print typography.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with a spirited italicized, calligraphy-tinged rhythm. It aims to deliver strong presence and refined drama without departing from recognizably traditional letterforms.
Stroke transitions are emphatic, with noticeably heavier verticals and finer connecting strokes that create a strong page color. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and spacing appears comfortable, supporting long words while still reading as expressive.
