A right-leaning serif with substantial weight, sculpted by calligraphic motion. Stems and serifs taper and flare into wedge-like endings, with smoothly bracketed joins and a clear thick–thin rhythm. Counters are generously open and the curves are full, while the italic construction shows pronounced entry/exit strokes and energetic diagonals. Overall spacing feels sturdy and even, supporting dense settings without losing character.
This face is well suited to headlines, cover lines, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a strong italic voice is desired. It can anchor branding and packaging that aims for heritage or premium cues, and it performs well in posters and pull quotes where its flare and movement can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is traditional and editorial, combining stately, bookish authority with a lively italic swagger. It reads as confident and cultivated, with a slightly dramatic, old-world warmth suited to refined messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a forceful, readable italic serif with classic proportions and expressive, flared finishing. It balances traditional book typography cues with a more theatrical, display-ready rhythm for attention-grabbing text.
Uppercase forms feel stable and classical, while lowercase shows more expressive, cursive-like detailing in letters such as a, f, g, and y. Numerals are robust and legible, matching the italic slant and maintaining consistent weight and presence in text.
