A bold, right-leaning serif with calligraphic energy and visibly flared stroke endings. Strokes show a diagonal stress and moderate contrast, with thick, tapered diagonals and softened joins that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Serifs read as bracketed and slightly splayed rather than flat slabs, giving the outlines a carved, brush-to-chisel feel. Proportions are compact and sturdy in the capitals, while the lowercase is more fluid with rounded bowls, angled entry strokes, and a rhythmic, slightly variable texture across the line.
This font is well suited to headlines and subheads in editorial layouts, where its strong contrast and flared terminals can carry voice and hierarchy. It also fits book covers, posters, and brand statements that benefit from a classic serif foundation with added motion and character.
The overall tone is classic and emphatic, balancing traditional bookish cues with a spirited italic motion. It feels confident and a touch dramatic, suitable for messaging that wants authority without becoming rigid or austere.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with italic dynamism, using flared terminals and diagonal stress to create a distinctive, energetic texture for impactful reading and display settings.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create forward momentum in longer text, and the flared terminals add a distinctive sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with strong diagonals and tapered curves that keep the set cohesive.
