A robust italic serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms lean forward with a lively, calligraphic rhythm: heavy main strokes, tapered entry/exit strokes, and rounded terminals that often finish in soft teardrops. Counters are relatively compact and the joins are smooth, giving the shapes a sculpted, slightly inflated feel. Uppercase forms read broad and emphatic, while lowercase shows more cursive influence with energetic curves and a confident, continuous flow.
Best suited to display settings where strong personality is an asset: headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine covers, theatrical or event posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short-form editorial emphasis (subheads or standfirsts) where a forceful italic serif is desired.
The overall tone is bold and showy, with a classic, old-style flair that feels editorial and slightly theatrical. Its italic motion and high-contrast modeling suggest elegance with attitude—more headline-forward than quietly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding, classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and ornamental terminals, prioritizing impact and expressive texture in larger sizes.
In the sample text, the dense color and strong slant create a cohesive, poster-like texture, especially in longer lines. The numerals share the same italic energy and heavy presence, reinforcing a consistent display character across letters and figures.
