A robust italic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a clear, calligraphic modulation. The letterforms are strongly inclined and built on wedge-like, bracketed serifs with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop/ball-like details in the lowercase. Curves are full and weighty, counters are moderately open, and joins show a brush-pen rhythm that gives the alphabet a lively, slightly swashy texture while remaining legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italic construction and read as traditional, text-oriented figures.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short editorial blocks where a strong italic voice is desirable. It can also work for classic-leaning branding and packaging, especially when a traditional serif feel is needed with added dynamism. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable with generous leading due to its dense, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is classic and emphatic, combining old-style sophistication with a confident, attention-grabbing presence. Its bold italic stance feels editorial and ceremonial, suggesting tradition, prestige, and a touch of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more dramatic italic interpretation—pairing traditional proportions and serifs with energetic, calligraphy-driven shaping for impactful display typography.
In running text the strong diagonal stress and heavy entry/exit strokes create a noticeable forward motion, with a consistent dark color across lines. The capitals are compact and powerful, while the lowercase adds personality through rounded forms and expressive terminals that can become more prominent as size increases.
