A right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and tapered, flared terminals that give strokes a chiseled, calligraphic finish. The capitals are wide and assertive with sharp wedge-like serifs and lively curves, while the lowercase shows a flowing rhythm with rounded bowls, narrow joins, and a slightly cursive construction. Counters are relatively open for the style, and the overall texture alternates between thick main strokes and hairline connections, creating a crisp, high-impact page color. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved forms and pointed finishing strokes that align visually with the letters.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short-form editorial settings where its contrast and tapered details can stay crisp. It can also support upscale branding, event materials, and poster typography that benefits from an elegant italic cadence and strong typographic presence.
The tone is theatrical and refined, evoking editorial tradition and classical book typography with a more energetic, display-forward slant. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add urgency and elegance, giving text a confident, slightly dramatic voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened motion and contrast, balancing classical proportions with expressive, flared finishing strokes. It aims to provide a distinctive italic display texture that remains structured enough for polished editorial and branding work.
The design leans on wedge and flared endings rather than flat slabs, and many forms show subtle stroke modulation that suggests broad-nib influence. In paragraphs it reads as distinctly stylized and emphatic, with letterforms that reward generous sizing and careful spacing.
