This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clearly calligraphic, diagonal stress. Serifs read as wedge-like and softly bracketed, with many stroke endings flaring outward rather than terminating bluntly. Counters are relatively compact and the overall color is dark and dense, helped by sturdy verticals and sharp, tapered joins. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals) show crisp transitions and pointed terminals, while diagonals in V, W, and X are firm and angular. Lowercase forms are lively and slightly condensed, with a single-storey g and a pointed, forward-leaning rhythm across the line.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where a bold, high-contrast italic can carry tone and hierarchy. It can also work well for branding and packaging that benefits from a premium, expressive serif voice, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels assertive and elevated, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion/editorial edge. Its energetic slant and high contrast create a sense of movement and drama, while the wedge-like serif treatment keeps it polished and traditional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic italic serif for attention-grabbing typography, blending traditional serif construction with flared stroke endings and energetic, calligraphic movement. It prioritizes expressive texture and strong presence over neutrality, making it ideal for display and high-impact editorial composition.
At text sizes the strong contrast and tight internal spaces emphasize sharpness and pace, especially in combinations with many diagonals and curves. Numerals match the italicized, calligraphic logic with noticeable stroke tapering and pointed terminals, keeping a consistent, display-forward personality.
