A sculpted italic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and pronounced, flared stroke endings. The letterforms lean decisively, with tapered entry/exit strokes and wedge-like terminals that create a sharp, chiseled rhythm. Counters are relatively compact in the round letters, while joins and curves show a calligraphic logic—heavier downstrokes and finer hairlines—giving the face a dynamic, carved-in-ink feel. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italic construction, with bold, angled silhouettes and crisp terminal shaping.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, pull quotes, and cover typography where its high-contrast italics and flared terminals can provide strong personality. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a classic yet forceful italic voice, especially when set with generous spacing and at sizes that preserve the finer strokes.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a distinctly classical, old-world flavor. Its steep slant, high contrast, and sharp terminals lend it a dramatic, slightly theatrical presence suited to attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended as a commanding display italic that blends traditional serif structure with more calligraphic, flared finishing. It prioritizes impact, motion, and sculptural contrast over neutrality, aiming to deliver a distinctive editorial and headline-ready texture.
In text, the heavy weight and steep italic angle create a lively forward motion, while the flared terminals and bracketed serif behavior help maintain a traditional serif identity. The texture reads dense and energetic, with pronounced stroke contrast that favors larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp terminals can stay clear.
