A very heavy italic serif with pronounced contrast and a dynamic diagonal stress. Stems feel sculpted, widening into flared endings and bracketed serifs that taper to crisp points, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic presence. Curves are full and compact, with tightly controlled counters and assertive entry/exit strokes; joins often resolve into sharp triangular wedges. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly condensed by the slant, with strong dark texture and clear figure/ground in both capitals and lowercase.
Best used at display sizes where the high-contrast strokes, flared endings, and strong italic motion can be appreciated. It suits editorial headlines, packaging and branding that want a classic-yet-dramatic voice, and book or film-style titling where dense, impactful letterforms are desirable.
The tone is bold and theatrical, mixing classical serif authority with a lively, swash-leaning italic energy. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a slightly vintage, poster-like flair that feels suited to expressive headlines rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a refined serif vocabulary—combining a traditional italic skeleton with exaggerated weight, contrast, and flared finishing to create a distinctive display texture.
Numerals show the same sculptural contrast and pointed finishing, staying sturdy at display sizes. The italic angle is consistent and noticeable, creating forward motion in words and a distinctive, slightly angular cadence across lines.
