A robust serif with a pronounced rightward slant and calligraphic construction. Strokes show noticeable modulation and diagonal stress, with stems and arms finishing in flared, wedge-like terminals that read as softly bracketed serifs rather than blunt slabs. Counters are compact and the overall color is dark and assertive, while letterforms keep a slightly lively, hand-inked rhythm through tapered joins and angled cuts. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and classical; the lowercase carries the same weight with rounded bowls and dynamic, angled entry/exit strokes that emphasize the italic flow.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text in editorial layouts where a strong typographic voice is desired. It can work well for book and magazine titles, pull quotes, packaging, and identity work that benefits from a classic serif tone with added motion and personality.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining a traditional, bookish authority with a spirited, slightly vintage swagger. Its slanted posture and flared endings add motion and warmth, making the voice feel confident, emphatic, and a touch theatrical rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with a more dynamic, italicized rhythm, using flared terminals and calligraphic modulation to add emphasis and distinctive texture. It aims to balance authority and readability with a memorable, expressive silhouette.
The figures and capitals share the same strong color and tapered finishing, helping text feel cohesive at display sizes. The distinctive, flaring stroke endings and angled cuts create recognizable silhouettes that prioritize character over strict restraint.
