A high-contrast serif with an italicized, calligraphic construction and assertive weight. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and sharply pointed terminals, supported by bracketed, wedge-like serifs that often flare into small swashes. The forms lean with a steady rightward slant, and curves carry an upright stress that gives counters a slightly oval, sculpted feel. Lowercase features lively descenders and occasional ball-like terminals, while capitals are broad and compactly proportioned, producing a strong, dark page color in text.
Best suited to headlines, editorial titles, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a bold, expressive serif is desired. It can also work for book covers and premium packaging where contrast and flourish help convey sophistication and impact.
The overall tone is formal and emphatic, combining classical bookish cues with a theatrical, headline-ready flourish. Its sharp terminals and lively italic rhythm add a sense of motion and persuasion, making the voice feel confident and slightly dramatic rather than quiet or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation infused with italic calligraphic energy—prioritizing contrast, motion, and a strong presence. It aims to bridge classic editorial credibility with a more decorative, attention-grabbing finish.
In the sample text, the texture is dense and energetic, with a consistent slanted rhythm and clear contrast that reads as intentionally stylized. Numerals and round letters show pronounced tapering and sculpted curves, reinforcing a display-forward personality even when set in paragraph lengths.
