A slanted serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden at stroke ends, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic finish. Strokes show a moderate contrast and a lively, slightly springy rhythm, with rounded joins and gently tapered diagonals. Capitals are compact and assertive, while the lowercase keeps a traditional skeleton with a readable, moderate x-height; the italics lean is steady and consistent across the set. Numerals and punctuation echo the same flared endings and angled stress, maintaining a cohesive texture in running text.
Well-suited for editorial design such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing structure. It can also work for book covers, cultural branding, and premium packaging that benefits from a classic serif tone with added motion and emphasis.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a purposeful forward motion from the italic slant and energetic wedge terminals. It reads as confident and refined rather than delicate, suggesting heritage and authority while still feeling lively and contemporary in its pace.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with flared, wedge-like terminals to create an italic that feels both authoritative and energetic. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and consistent rhythm, aiming for expressive emphasis in display and editorial contexts while remaining legible in shorter text runs.
The flared stroke endings are especially evident on diagonals and curved forms, creating a strong baseline and a crisp, chiseled silhouette in display sizes. In text settings, the consistent slant and terminal treatment produce a dark, even typographic color with a slightly dynamic, handwritten undertone.
