A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes swell into rounded, ball-like terminals and taper into sharp, bracketed serifs, creating a lively, inked rhythm. The forms are generous and rounded with relatively tight internal counters, and the overall color is dense and assertive. Numerals and letters share a consistent slanted stress and sculpted joins, giving the design a cohesive, display-forward texture.
Best used for headlines, short passages, and branding where a bold, classic serif with motion can carry the message. It will perform especially well in magazine and book titling, packaging, and identity work where dramatic contrast and ornate terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The typeface feels theatrical and upscale, pairing old-style warmth with a punchy, attention-grabbing presence. Its swooping terminals and italic energy suggest a vintage, editorial voice—confident, slightly flamboyant, and suited to expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened impact—combining old-style proportions with expressive italic calligraphy to create strong, memorable display typography.
The italics are strongly integrated rather than simply slanted, with cursive-like movement in characters such as a, f, g, and y. Round letters show a clear diagonal stress, and the weight distribution creates strong word-shapes with noticeable emphasis at entry/exit strokes.
