A high-contrast italic serif with a broad set width and lively, calligraphic modulation. Strokes swing from hairline thins to weighty verticals, with crisp wedge-like serifs and frequent forked or spurred terminals that add ornament without becoming fully script-like. The letterforms lean decisively, with flowing entry/exit strokes, curved joins, and tapered finishing cuts that create a rhythmic, animated texture in text. Counters are generally open and rounded, while many capitals feature elegant, sweeping curves and pointed intersections that emphasize the italic construction.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, book and album covers, magazine features, and branded wordmarks where its contrast and spurred detailing can read as intentional style. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck copy when set with generous size and spacing to let the hairlines and terminals breathe.
The overall tone is formal and expressive, combining old-world refinement with a slightly flamboyant, stage-worthy flair. The sharp spurs and dramatic contrast give it a confident, high-style voice suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical italic serif voice with heightened contrast and ornamental spurs, aiming for an expressive, premium look that stands out in editorial and promotional typography. Its wide stance and animated terminals suggest a focus on character and impact over utilitarian text economy.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and swashy terminals create a bold, sparkling line that can feel busy at smaller sizes, especially where spurs cluster around joins. Numerals and capitals appear designed for display emphasis, maintaining the same brisk italic energy and crisp finishing details as the letters.
