A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring stroke endings that give terminals a sharpened, calligraphic bite. Capitals are wide-shouldered and stately, with crisp wedge-like serifs and smooth, swelling curves; the italic angle is steady and the overall color is dark and confident. Lowercase forms show a relatively tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, plus energetic joins and angled entry/exit strokes that create a lively rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and high-contrast, with classic proportions and clear differentiation between figures.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, and poster typography where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or brand messaging when a classic, high-impact italic voice is desired.
The design reads as polished and assertive, blending traditional bookish authority with a more theatrical, fashion-forward flair. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast lend a sense of drama and motion, making it feel suited to bold statements rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely drawn to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic serif that feels rooted in classical forms while adding sharper flares and a more expressive, calligraphy-driven texture for standout editorial typography.
Counters are generally generous for the weight, helping maintain clarity despite the dense color. The italic construction emphasizes forward motion through angled stress, pointed apexes, and tapered cross-strokes, producing a distinctly expressive texture in running text.
