A forward-leaning serif with a calligraphic construction and tapered strokes that swell into flared terminals. The letterforms show wedge-like, softly bracketed serifs and teardrop/ball-like endings on several lowercase strokes, creating a distinctly drawn, inked feel. Capitals are broad and authoritative with slightly sculpted curves, while the lowercase maintains an energetic rhythm through angled joins and lively stroke modulation. Numerals are sturdy and clear, matching the italic slant and flared finishing details for a consistent texture across the set.
This style suits headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where an italic serif can add emphasis and sophistication. It would also work well on book covers, poster titles, and branding elements that need a classic, crafted tone with strong presence at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, mixing refinement with a slightly dramatic, old-style warmth. Its pronounced slant and expressive terminals add motion and personality, suggesting a voice that feels traditional yet attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver an assertive italic serif with a hand-influenced, flared finish—combining traditional serif cues with a more expressive, ink-driven rhythm for impactful typographic emphasis.
Spacing reads open enough for display and short text, and the strong diagonal stress gives lines a cohesive, sweeping flow. The contrast is noticeable but not brittle, keeping the texture dense and emphatic while preserving recognizable forms.
