A right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline serifs, giving a crisp, ink-trap-free silhouette. Serifs are bracketed and generally sharp, with a mix of wedge-like entry strokes and finer exit terminals that echo a calligraphic pen angle. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly expanded, while the lowercase shows lively shapes with round bowls and occasional ball-like terminals, contributing to a rhythmic, slightly swashy texture in text. Figures are similarly contrasty and slanted, with open counters and clear, traditional forms.
Well-suited to magazine design, book covers, and other editorial contexts where a classic serif voice with extra energy is desired. It can also serve in branding and display applications, especially for names, slogans, and pull quotes where the dramatic contrast and slanted rhythm help establish a distinctive tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining refinement with a confident, attention-grabbing presence. Its strong contrast and energetic slant add drama, suggesting tradition filtered through a contemporary, fashion-forward sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and a persistent italicized motion, producing a more expressive, fashion/editorial flavor while keeping familiar, readable letter structures.
In running text, the slant and contrast create a distinctive diagonal flow, with prominent capitals and sculpted lowercase forms that read as deliberate and expressive rather than purely neutral. The punctuation and numerals visually match the letterforms, maintaining the same sharpness and stroke modulation.
