A bold italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sculpted, flared stroke endings that read as calligraphic rather than mechanical. The letterforms show wedge-like terminals, tapered joins, and a lively rightward slant, creating a strong forward rhythm. Bowls and counters are compact and dark, with sharp, crisp inner apertures and clear stress, while capitals feel stately and slightly condensed by the italic angle. Numerals and lowercase carry the same high-contrast, tapered logic, with occasional swashy details (notably in forms like Q, J, and g) that add personality.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, posters, title treatments, and brand marks where contrast and italic momentum can do the heavy lifting. It also fits premium packaging and promotional typography that benefits from a classic, high-drama serif voice.
The font conveys a dramatic, upscale tone with an editorial polish—confident, theatrical, and a bit vintage. Its energetic italic motion and sharp contrast suggest sophistication and intensity, suited to attention-grabbing typographic moments rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as an expressive italic serif for statement typography, combining high contrast with flared terminals to evoke a refined, traditional calligraphic heritage while remaining punchy and contemporary in weight and impact.
At text sizes the dense strokes and tight counters create a strong color on the page, while the slanted silhouette and flared terminals add sparkle and movement. The overall texture is intentionally assertive, favoring expressive headings over extended reading.
