A bold, high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and wide, expressive proportions. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with sharpened joins and bracketed wedge-like serifs that often end in beaks or ball terminals, giving the outlines a slightly calligraphic snap. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the italic construction introduces lively entry/exit strokes and flowing curves, especially in rounds and diagonals. Overall rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with sturdy vertical presence balanced by sweeping italic movement.
Best suited to display typography where its strong contrast and italic momentum can be appreciated—magazine headlines, editorial features, posters, and bold brand statements. It can work for short blocks of text when set with generous spacing, but it visually excels at larger sizes where the serif shaping and stroke modulation remain clear.
The tone feels classic and editorial, with a confident, headline-ready voice. Its italic swagger and high-contrast detailing add drama and a touch of old-style sophistication, reading as assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with amplified impact—combining classic, bookish letterforms with a more theatrical, advertising-style italic energy for attention-grabbing typography.
Capitals have strong, sculpted silhouettes and noticeable serif articulation, while the lowercase emphasizes motion through curved terminals and angled stress. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, matching the punchy text color seen in the specimen paragraph.
