A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and sculpted, flared stroke endings. Thick verticals and tapered hairlines create sharp light–dark rhythm, while many terminals finish in wedge-like points or subtly bracketed serif forms. Uppercase proportions read sturdy and slightly compact, with crisp joins and angled stress in rounded letters. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with lively, curved entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like movement, giving text a flowing, energetic texture without becoming script-like. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic flow, with strong curves and tapered terminals that match the letterforms.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and italic energy can be a feature. It can also work for premium brand wordmarks, event collateral, and short editorial passages where a classic yet forceful voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a dramatic editorial edge. Its strong contrast and forward lean evoke classic publishing and refined branding, while the flared terminals add a sense of motion and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and an italic, calligraphic impulse. The flared endings and wedge-like terminals suggest a focus on expressive stroke modulation—aimed at creating strong presence and elegant movement in display and editorial contexts.
In text settings the rhythm is bold and continuous, with clear word shapes and a distinctly italic sparkle from the hairlines. The design favors expressive detail at joins and terminals, which can add elegance at larger sizes and increase visual presence in short passages.
