A strongly slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, engraved-like stress with tapered terminals, sharp beaks, and energetic diagonals, producing a lively rhythm across words. Capitals are sturdy and sculpted with generous counters, while lowercase forms are compact and punchy, with a single-storey italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ and a flowing, right-leaning stance. Numerals match the same sharply cut, high-contrast construction, reading best at larger sizes where the fine hairlines stay clear.
This font performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where its strong slant and contrast can provide hierarchy and personality. It also suits book covers, magazine features, and refined branding that benefits from a classic serif voice with added drama. For long passages, it will be most comfortable at larger text sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, like traditional book typography pushed toward a more dramatic, headline-ready voice. Its strong slant and crisp detailing add motion and intensity, giving text a persuasive, editorial character. The effect is refined but assertive, suitable for contexts that want sophistication with emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened italic energy—combining traditional, engraved proportions with sharper contrast and assertive detailing for impactful reading. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and crisp silhouette for display and editorial emphasis while keeping forms familiar and structured.
Stroke endings often resolve into pointed, chiseled shapes rather than soft balls, which heightens contrast and sharpness. The spacing appears relatively open for an italic, helping maintain legibility despite the steep angle and narrow joins in some letters.
