A bold italic serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like serifs and smoothly bracketed joins. Strokes show calligraphic modulation, with tapered terminals and a forward-leaning rhythm that creates strong directional movement. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady x-height; counters are open enough to stay legible while the heavy strokes keep a dense, assertive color on the page. The overall texture is lively and slightly irregular in a humanist way, especially where diagonals and curved strokes taper into sharp endings.
Best suited to display and short-text settings such as magazine headlines, book-cover titling, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a strong italic voice. It can also work for emphasized passages, deck copy, and pull quotes where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable.
The face reads as classic and editorial, combining traditional bookish cues with a brisk, energetic slant. It feels formal without being stiff, projecting confidence and a slightly dramatic tone suited to emphatic messaging.
Designed to deliver a forceful italic serif presence with flared endings and calligraphic shaping, balancing classical serif conventions with a more kinetic, contemporary editorial punch.
Uppercase forms are robust and sculpted, with crisp wedges on key terminals; the lowercase maintains strong italic cursive energy without becoming script-like. Numerals appear similarly weighty and italicized, matching the text color for cohesive use in headings and pull quotes.
