This typeface is a right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic logic with tapered terminals and bracketing where stems meet serifs, producing a lively, sculpted rhythm. Capitals are relatively narrow with strong vertical stress, while lowercase forms are compact with a clear, steady x-height and energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals share the same high-contrast, angled construction and feel integrated with the text forms rather than purely geometric.
It works well for headlines, pull quotes, and magazine or book titling where a refined, classical voice is desired. The energetic italic texture also suits branding applications that need tradition with motion, such as cultural institutions, publishers, or premium packaging that benefits from a sharp serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a formal, literary flavor and a touch of drama from the steep contrast and sharp detailing. It feels traditional and authoritative, yet animated by the italic movement and tapered endings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened contrast and italic dynamism, emphasizing elegance and authority while maintaining legibility through consistent proportions and clear serif structure.
In text, the strong diagonal flow and sharp serifs create a vivid texture that suits display-like settings and short passages where its character can read as intentional. The combination of narrow capitals and high contrast gives lines a crisp, high-end presence, especially at larger sizes.
