A slanted serif with sturdy, slightly tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed and integrated into the stems rather than sharply cut, and curves are generously rounded with clear, open counters. The rhythm is energetic, with noticeable italic motion and a somewhat variable texture across letters; joins and terminals show small pinch points that add definition without becoming brittle. Figures are compact and sturdy, matching the overall weight and maintaining consistent color in text.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where the slant and flared detailing can provide presence and momentum. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, pull quotes, and brand marks that want a classic serif voice with extra movement and emphasis.
The font conveys an editorial, old-world confidence—assertive and polished, with a touch of drama from the italic slant and flared endings. It feels traditional and authoritative, yet lively enough to read as contemporary when set large.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with italic-driven dynamism, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to create a strong, editorial texture that holds up at display sizes while remaining legible in shorter text settings.
Uppercase forms lean toward broad, sculpted silhouettes, while lowercase shows strong italic construction with pronounced entry/exit strokes on letters like a, f, and y. Round letters (o, e, c) keep a smooth, even ovality, helping the face maintain a cohesive, readable texture in continuous text.
