This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that give strokes a chiseled, sculpted finish. Capitals are sturdy and slightly narrow in feel, with sharp terminals and strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic rhythm with compact apertures and lively entry/exit strokes. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals) are taut and controlled, and the joins and terminals stay clean, producing a firm, print-oriented texture. Figures appear lining with similarly high contrast; round forms like 0 and 8 are compact and weighty, and 1 is a simple slanted stroke that matches the overall angle.
It suits editorial settings where a refined, traditional voice is needed—book and magazine titling, pull quotes, and section headers. The strong contrast and slanted stance also make it effective for branding and formal promotional materials, especially at display and headline sizes where its crisp serifs and sculpted curves can be appreciated.
The overall tone reads traditional and editorial, with an assertive, cultivated presence. Its sharp contrast and purposeful slant evoke classical book typography and institutional formality, while the energetic lowercase adds a touch of old-style warmth rather than a strictly modern, sterile feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama through contrast and a consistent italic angle, balancing robust capitals with a more expressive lowercase. It aims to feel authoritative and literary while maintaining legibility and a coherent, print-like texture in continuous text.
The sample text shows a steady baseline and consistent slant, with strong word shapes and clear emphasis at larger sizes. Some letters feature distinctive teardrop-like terminals and curled finishes (notably in the lowercase), reinforcing a slightly calligraphic, vintage flavor without becoming ornate.
