A dynamic serif with strongly angled, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letters sit on a forward slant, with broad proportions and generous internal space in rounds like O and o, giving the design an open, expansive rhythm. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and many terminals flare into pointed, slightly hooked endings that emphasize motion. Curves are smooth but tensioned, and joins often show a chiseled, ink-trap-like bite that adds texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same energetic, tapered logic, with bold curves and angled strokes that keep the set visually unified.
Best suited to display typography where its sweeping width, contrast, and sharpened serif details can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, poster titles, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when a classic voice with added drama is desired.
The overall tone feels assertive and traditional, with a theatrical, headline-ready elegance. Its slanted stance and sharpened terminals add urgency and drama, while the classic serif framework keeps it grounded and authoritative. The result reads as literary and editorial rather than casual or purely decorative.
The font appears designed to combine conventional serif readability cues with a more expressive, italicized calligraphic energy. Its wide stance and high-contrast detailing suggest an intention to stand out in titling while still feeling rooted in traditional print typography.
In the sample text, the wide set and strong diagonals create a distinctive word shape and a lively, rolling baseline. The design’s contrast and pointed details are especially noticeable in letters like S, Q, a, e, and y, where tapered strokes and flared terminals give a slightly swashy finish.
