A high-contrast serif with a strongly right-leaning italic structure and broad, energetic proportions. Strokes move from razor-thin hairlines to heavy main stems, with pronounced, bracketed serifs and sharp terminals that create a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are full and slightly flattened in places, while diagonals and joins show a calligraphic taper that keeps counters open despite the dark color. Spacing feels generous and the rhythm is lively, with noticeably varying letter widths that give words a rolling, forward momentum.
Best suited to display use where the strong contrast and wide, italic texture can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, book covers, and premium packaging. It can work for short passages at larger sizes when a classical, attention-grabbing tone is desired, but the intense contrast and energetic slant make it more natural for titling than for small, dense text.
The overall tone is dramatic and self-assured, combining classical refinement with a punchy, poster-like presence. It reads as traditional and authoritative, but the steep italic and sharp, flicking terminals add theatrical flair and movement.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama: an italic-forward, high-contrast style that evokes traditional publishing while amplifying impact for modern display settings. Its wide proportions and crisp serif detailing suggest a focus on expressive, editorial typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The italic construction is persistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a consistent slanted texture in lines of text. Figures appear italic as well, with strong contrast and serifed shaping that matches the letterforms, making numeric strings feel integrated rather than neutral.
