A robust italic serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins that give the strokes a sculpted, carved feel. Stems show a noticeable diagonal stress and a moderate thick–thin pattern, with counters that stay open despite the heavy weight. The lowercase has compact, energetic forms—single-storey “a” and “g,” a strong rightward slant, and short, sturdy serifs that taper into the curves rather than ending abruptly. Uppercase proportions feel broad and authoritative, with crisp entry/exit strokes and a consistent, slightly calligraphic rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand marks that need a strong, classic voice. It can work well for packaging and posters where bold italic emphasis and distinctive serif shaping help text stand out.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, pairing editorial seriousness with a sense of motion from the italic angle and flared endings. It reads as formal and established, yet lively enough to feel contemporary in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic with classical serif cues, using flared terminals and controlled contrast to create a distinctive, authoritative display texture that remains legible in short to medium text blocks.
At larger sizes the tapered terminals and diagonal stress become a defining texture, creating a lively baseline and strong word shapes. Numerals appear weighty and stable, matching the letterforms’ sturdy presence for headline use.
