This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a robust overall color. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with sharp, tapered terminals that reinforce a calligraphic stroke logic. Proportions are slightly expanded with generous curves in rounds and a steady, readable rhythm in text. The italic construction is assertive rather than delicate, with lively entry/exit strokes and compact, well-contained counters that hold up at display sizes.
It performs best in headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial display contexts where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. The wide stance and strong serif detailing also suit book covers, magazine titling, and branding systems that want a classic, literary feel with extra punch.
The tone feels classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition while keeping an energetic, forward-leaning momentum. Its strong contrast and crisp finishing give it a confident, slightly dramatic voice suited to persuasive or narrative settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with display strength: a familiar serif foundation paired with higher contrast, crisp bracketed serifs, and a pronounced slant to create emphasis and character in editorial typography.
Uppercase forms show sturdy structure and clear serif articulation, while lowercase includes expressive details (notably in a, g, and f) that add texture in running text. Numerals follow the same energetic slant and contrast, reading as traditional and headline-friendly rather than strictly utilitarian.
