A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and an angled, calligraphic stress. Serif and terminal treatments feel flared and slightly wedge-like, with crisp edges and tapered joins that give strokes a sculpted, engraved quality. The italic angle is strong and consistent, producing a lively horizontal rhythm; curves are full and the counters stay open despite the heavy emphasis on thick strokes. Uppercase forms read stately and compact, while the lowercase shows more flow and variation in entry/exit strokes, creating a textured line color in paragraph settings.
Best suited to display and short-form settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and brand marks where contrast and movement can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and event materials when a formal, classic tone is desired, but will be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a dramatic, fashion-forward flair. Its sharp contrast and assertive italic movement suggest prestige and ceremony, while the flared terminals add a subtly historical, print-centric character.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, print-inspired italic with dramatic contrast and flared finishing, balancing traditional serif structure with energetic, calligraphic motion for high-impact typography.
The numeral set matches the same high-contrast, slanted construction, with old-style energy in the curves and prominent tapering at stroke ends. At larger sizes the detailing and contrast become a feature, while in denser text the strong italic slant and thickened strokes create a distinctly dark, emphatic typographic voice.
