A sculpted serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, high-contrast strokes. The design uses wedge-like, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that create sharp entry/exit points, while round forms (like O and Q) show strong thick–thin modulation. Lowercase features a compact, energetic rhythm with teardrop-like joins and occasional swashiness in curves and descenders; numerals follow the same calligraphic stress and contrast, with generous bowls and pointed finishing strokes. Overall spacing reads moderately tight in text, with lively internal countershapes and a distinctly inked, engraved feel.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other editorial or promotional settings where contrast and italic motion are an advantage. It can work for short passages in print-oriented layouts, but its lively detail and strong stroke modulation are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is theatrical and traditional, leaning toward an old-style, literary mood rather than neutral modernity. Its strong contrast and animated italic movement convey sophistication with a touch of flourish, making it feel assertive, expressive, and somewhat ceremonial.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama: a conventional foundation augmented by calligraphic energy, sharp terminals, and confident italic emphasis for attention-grabbing typography.
Capitals appear sturdy and stately, while the lowercase provides most of the personality through sharper terminals, looping curves, and a more handwritten cadence. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the contrast creates bright highlights in curves that can sparkle at display sizes.
