A slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a sculpted, flared finish at many terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic backbone with wedge-like serifs, tapered entry/exit strokes, and crisp joins that create a lively, forward rhythm. Counters are compact and curves are pulled into teardrop-like terminals in places, while capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed with sharp, angled apexes. Figures match the italic energy, with strong curves and pointed terminals that keep the overall texture dark and energetic.
Best suited to headlines, cover titles, and prominent editorial typography where its strong rhythm and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for branding marks and short pull quotes that benefit from a classic, emphatic italic voice.
The tone is traditional and assertive, evoking bookish sophistication with a touch of theatrical flair. Its energetic italic stance and sharp, ink-like details give it a dramatic, editorial voice suited to statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a spirited, calligraphy-informed italic, delivering a confident display texture and a distinctly crafted silhouette.
Diagonal stress is evident in rounded letters, and many forms end in angled, flaring strokes that read like pen pressure. Spacing appears designed for display use, producing a tightly knit, high-impact line of text at larger sizes.
