A bold italic serif with pronounced contrast and a flowing, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and subtly widening terminals that read as flared rather than blunt. Serifs are bracketed and dynamic, with sharp, angled entry strokes and gently sheared curves that emphasize forward motion. The overall fit is generous, with sturdy capitals and lowercase that maintain clear counters and open apertures even at heavy stroke weights.
Best suited to display sizes where its contrast, tapering, and italic energy can carry personality—headlines, magazine features, book covers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or section openers when a strong, classic voice is desired.
The font conveys an editorial, literary tone—confident and cultivated with a touch of drama. Its slanted, high-contrast forms suggest tradition and craft, making the voice feel authoritative and refined rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with an emphatic italic stance, combining strong contrast and flared finishing to create impact without losing typographic sophistication. It aims for expressive readability in prominent settings, balancing sturdy weight with elegant, crafted stroke behavior.
Caps have a stately presence and smooth, rounded bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q) that pair well with the energetic italic angle. Lowercase shows lively details—such as a double-storey g and brisk, sharpened diagonals in v/w/x/y—that keep text from feeling static. Numerals are robust and readable, matching the same contrast and italic stress for cohesive typography across display settings.
