A strongly slanted, high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like terminals and flared stroke endings that broaden into sharp, chiseled serifs. The strokes show a calligraphic logic: thick verticals and diagonals countered by fine hairlines, creating lively rhythm and crisp internal whites. Curves are full and weighty, with compact counters and assertive joins, while the overall silhouette reads energetic and slightly condensed by the italic lean. Uppercase forms feel monumental and sculpted; lowercase maintains a sturdy, readable core with occasional swash-like shaping in diagonals and terminals.
Best suited for display typography where contrast and sharp flared serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, poster lines, book covers, and brand marks. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but its boldness and tight counters suggest using generous size and spacing for clarity.
The font projects an editorial, old-world confidence with a theatrical edge—bold, stylish, and a bit grand. Its sharp wedges and emphatic contrast give it a dramatic voice that feels suited to heritage branding and high-impact headlines rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif authority with a more kinetic, calligraphic italic stance, using flared terminals and wedge serifs to maximize impact and character. It aims for a sculpted, headline-forward texture that feels traditional yet assertively contemporary in tone.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping the design feel cohesive in text. Numerals are heavy and sculptural, matching the letterforms’ wedge-and-flare language and maintaining strong presence at display sizes.
