A right-leaning serif with a calligraphic construction and noticeably flared stroke endings. Strokes show a moderate contrast with swelling verticals and tapered joins, plus softly bracketed, triangular serifs that feel cut from a broad nib rather than mechanically drawn. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, counters are generous, and terminals often finish with a sharp wedge. The lowercase has a lively rhythm with compact bowls and angled entry/exit strokes, while capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed by their strong vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same italic momentum with firm, sculpted forms and pronounced wedge terminals.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine features, and display typography where a strong, expressive italic is desirable. It can add sophistication and momentum to book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks, particularly when you want a classic serif voice with extra bite and movement.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, combining classical bookish cues with a punchy, contemporary edge. Its motion and sharp terminals give it a dramatic, headline-ready presence, while the serif detailing keeps it rooted in traditional typography.
The design appears intended to merge an italic, calligraphy-informed skeleton with sturdy, high-impact weight and flared serif detailing. It aims to deliver a distinctive display serif that reads as both traditional and energetic, emphasizing motion and sharp, sculpted terminals for memorable typography.
The italic angle is consistent across cases and gives text a continuous forward drive, especially in sequences with diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and in the loopier lowercase (g, y). In the text sample, the texture is dark and smooth at larger sizes, with distinctive letterforms that prioritize character over neutrality.
