An italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Strokes show a clear thick–thin rhythm with sharp, beak-like serifs and tapered entry/exit cuts that create crisp, wedgey terminals. Counters are rounded but slightly compressed by the slant, while many letters feature sweeping curves and pointed joins that give the design a lively, kinetic texture. Numerals and capitals share the same sharpened, stylized finishing, producing a cohesive, display-leaning color across lines.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where the italic motion and decorative serifs can be appreciated. It can work well for editorial display, book or film titling, packaging, and branding that wants a classic-yet-expressive serif voice.
The overall tone feels dramatic and cultivated, with a distinctly vintage, bookish flair. Its sharp cuts and swooping forms read as expressive and slightly theatrical rather than purely utilitarian, suggesting sophistication with a hint of ornament.
Likely designed as a characterful italic serif for display settings, combining traditional serif construction with more decorative, sharpened terminals to create a distinctive, energetic texture.
The glyphs exhibit consistent angled stress and distinctive terminal shapes that make individual letters highly characterful, especially in capitals and curved forms. At larger sizes the details read cleanly and add personality; the strong slant and sharp joins can make dense text feel energetic and busy.
