A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that often flare into wedge-like terminals. Curves are full and slightly compressed at joins, giving counters a lively, sculpted feel, while diagonals and arms taper sharply into pointed finishes. The rhythm is energetic rather than rigid, with subtly varied widths across letters and a noticeable calligraphic flow. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with strong curves and distinctive entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine or book-cover typography where contrast and motion are desirable. It can also serve branding, invitations, and poster work that benefits from a classic serif voice with added emphasis and flair. For longer passages, it will read best at comfortable sizes and with adequate spacing to let the sharp terminals and contrast breathe.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, headline-ready presence. Its strong contrast and lively italic slant add drama and momentum, suggesting sophistication and a slightly theatrical elegance. The face feels authoritative without becoming cold, leaning toward classic editorial polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation while amplifying it with a vigorous italic slant and dramatic contrast. It aims for a refined, print-oriented presence that can carry titles and prominent text with confidence, while retaining familiar serif proportions and cues.
The lowercase shows a noticeable oldstyle influence with angled stress and distinctive, sweeping terminals, while the uppercase maintains a sturdy, formal stance. In text, the contrast and sharp terminals make word shapes strongly expressive, favoring display and short runs over quiet neutrality.
