A slanted serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared stroke endings and smoothly bracketed joins. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction with oblique stress, tapered terminals, and a lively, forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in the bold shapes, while apertures remain clear enough for display use; curves are full and slightly asymmetric in places, reinforcing an organic, written influence. Proportions vary by glyph, giving the set a dynamic texture rather than a rigidly uniform width.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and cover typography where its slanted energy and flared serifs can be appreciated at size. It also works well for editorial pull quotes and branding statements that want a classic, authoritative feel with added movement.
The overall tone feels classic and assertive, with an editorial sophistication. Its energetic italic stance and flaring terminals add drama and motion, suggesting traditional print craft with a modern, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with a calligraphic italic attitude, using flared endings and tapered strokes to create a strong, expressive texture. It aims for high-impact display readability while conveying refinement and historical resonance.
The numerals follow the same angled, calligraphic logic, with strong diagonals and tapered finishes that keep figures visually consistent with the letters. In the sample text, the dense color and sharp wedge endings create a bold typographic voice that prefers generous spacing and headline sizes over tight, small-setting environments.
