A bold, slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic finish rather than a mechanical one. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel with strong verticals, while lowercase forms show lively asymmetry and varied join behavior; counters stay open despite the weight. Numerals share the same italic momentum, with distinctive curves and angled stress that keep them consistent with the text color.
Best suited to display and editorial settings—headlines, deck text, pull quotes, and book or article titling—where its contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages and introductions when set with comfortable spacing and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, balancing classical bookish tradition with a more dramatic, energetic slant. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast create a sense of sophistication and authority, suitable for text that wants to feel curated and intentional rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened drama: an italic-forward, high-contrast voice that reads as traditional but more expressive. It emphasizes strong typographic color and crisp details to project authority in editorial and publishing contexts.
The italic angle is evident across all glyphs and reinforced by diagonal strokes in letters like N, V, W, X, and the long entry/exit shapes on lowercase. Round letters (O, Q, e, o) show diagonal stress, and terminals frequently end in pointed beaks or teardrop-like shapes, which adds sparkle at larger sizes.
