A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that read as calligraphically influenced rather than mechanical. The strokes show tapered joins and softly swelling curves, with rounded terminals and a rhythmic, slightly elastic texture across words. Capitals are broad and stately with strongly modeled bowls and diagonals, while the lowercase has compact counters, energetic entry strokes, and a flowing, oldstyle feel. Numerals match the text tone, mixing sturdy stems with curved shapes and a traditional, slightly drawn appearance.
It performs best where a strong, traditional serif presence is desired: editorial headlines, magazine features, book covers, display typography, and branding that benefits from classic sophistication. The robust stroke weight and high contrast help it hold presence at larger sizes and in short-to-medium text runs.
The font conveys a classic, print-oriented voice—authoritative and polished, with a hint of vintage book typography. Its motion and contrast add drama and elegance, producing a confident, editorial tone well suited to emphatic statements and refined branding.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif through heightened contrast and a calligraphic, italicized energy, creating a dramatic yet familiar reading texture. It aims to balance classic bookish credibility with display-level impact for contemporary editorial use.
In continuous text the strong modulation and tight inner spaces create a dark, punchy color, with distinctive silhouettes that help headlines stand out. The italic angle and modeled serifs give it a lively cadence, especially in mixed-case settings.
