A high-contrast serif with a strong rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Thick vertical and diagonal stems are paired with hairline joins and thin cross-strokes, creating a crisp, punchy rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often taper to sharp points, with occasional spur-like terminals that add bite to the silhouettes. Counters are relatively tight in the lowercase, while the capitals feel broad and commanding, and numerals show the same high-contrast modulation with lively curves and angled stress.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where high contrast and italic motion can read as intentional style. It can also work for branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a classic yet forceful voice; for longer text, it will perform best at comfortable sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is theatrical and editorial, balancing classical polish with a bold, attention-grabbing swagger. Its energetic italic movement and sharp detailing evoke traditional print typography with a slightly flamboyant, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and an expressive italic stance, aimed at producing strong typographic color and immediate impact in display and editorial settings.
Letterforms show a consistent angled stress and lively entry/exit strokes, with some characters exhibiting pronounced terminals and subtle asymmetries that enhance the hand-cut, display-leaning feel. The ampersand and curved letters lean into flourish without becoming overly ornate, keeping the texture dense and impactful in paragraphs.
