A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly flared, calligraphic construction. Stems broaden into wedge-like endings rather than finishing in flat slabs, and serifs read as sculpted, bracketed, and slightly swept. Curves show angled stress, with rounded joins and occasional teardrop-like terminals that give the lowercase a lively, inked feel. Proportions are compact and robust: capitals are broad and weighty, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with a clear, moderate x-height and energetic diagonals.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, posters, and packaging where the high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for book and magazine covers, branding wordmarks, and short editorial bursts where a classic yet expressive serif voice is needed.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, blending traditional serif authority with a lively, expressive slant. It feels editorial and literary, with a touch of vintage signage drama, suited to statements that should look cultured but not overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact italic serif that references calligraphic broad-nib logic while remaining structured and repeatable for typographic settings. The flared stroke endings and angled stress aim to create a distinctive, premium feel without relying on overly ornate details.
The numerals and capitals carry strong, sculptural silhouettes that hold up well at display sizes, while the italic energy in the lowercase adds motion and emphasis. Spacing appears geared toward impactful word shapes, with pronounced internal counterforms that keep the heavy weight from becoming muddy in short lines.
