A slanted serif with sturdy, tapered strokes that widen into subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs. The letterforms are compact and vertically emphasized, with a lively forward lean and a consistent, energetic rhythm. Curves are tight and controlled, counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins often sharpen into crisp wedges, giving the overall texture a strong, dark presence in text. The numerals follow the same assertive, angled construction, with sturdy shapes and clear, traditional proportions.
Well suited for editorial headlines, magazine subheads, and poster typography where a strong italic voice is needed. It can also work effectively on packaging and book covers that benefit from classic serif cues with extra momentum. In longer settings it will produce a dark, emphatic texture, making it best for short blocks, pull quotes, and prominent titling rather than small, airy body text.
The font reads confident and theatrical, with a polished, old-world elegance that still feels brisk and contemporary due to its pronounced slant. Its dark color and sharp detailing lend a sense of authority and urgency, making it feel at home in punchy, attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended to provide an assertive italic serif for display and editorial use, combining traditional serif structure with flared, wedge-like finishing to maintain clarity under heavy ink coverage. Its compact width and strong slant aim to maximize impact and forward motion while keeping a cohesive, classic typographic tone.
The italic motion is pronounced enough that long lines feel fast and expressive, while the compact proportions keep the page color dense. The flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs add definition at display sizes and reinforce a slightly calligraphic, engraved character without relying on delicate contrast.
