A sharply slanted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and pointed, giving strokes a cut, chiseled finish while maintaining a traditional text-serif skeleton. The overall color is dark and energetic, with lively rhythm from the diagonal stress and tapered joins; curves are tight and well-defined, and counters stay relatively compact. Numerals and capitals carry the same angled, high-contrast treatment, producing a cohesive, punchy texture in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short editorial settings where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also support book-cover titling, event posters, and brand marks that want a traditional serif voice with extra dynamism, but it will be most comfortable when used with generous size and spacing.
The tone reads classic and authoritative with a theatrical edge. Its pronounced slant and sharp terminals add momentum and drama, suggesting editorial sophistication, vintage formality, and emphatic headline voice rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif construction with an expressive italic stance and sharp, tapered finishing, creating a font that feels traditional yet more forceful and decorative than a typical text italic.
At larger sizes the pointed serifs and tapered details feel especially crisp and decorative, while in longer passages the strong contrast and slant create a busy, animated texture. Letterforms show a consistent rightward shear and a distinctly calligraphic finishing style that emphasizes motion and emphasis.
