A bold italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered, flared terminals that read like sharpened brush or engraved forms. The letterforms are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls and crisp joins that create strong black shapes and lively internal counters. Serifs are not blocky; instead they widen and taper into the stems, producing a dynamic, sculpted silhouette. The overall rhythm is punchy and angled, with a slightly calligraphic stress that keeps large text visually animated.
Best suited for headlines, cover lines, and short-form editorial typography where bold emphasis and personality are desirable. It also works well for branding elements such as logos, wordmarks, packaging titles, and poster or event typography, especially when a classic-meets-dramatic voice is needed. In longer passages it will be most comfortable when used sparingly (e.g., pull quotes, subheads) due to its heavy weight and high contrast.
This typeface conveys a confident, assertive tone with a distinctly classic, editorial flavor. Its forward slant and energetic stroke modulation add a sense of motion and drama, giving it a persuasive, headline-ready presence. Overall it feels bold and stylish rather than delicate or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact reading at larger sizes, combining classic serif cues with a forceful italic stance. Its strong contrast and flared endings aim to create distinctive word shapes and a memorable texture, prioritizing expressiveness and presence over neutrality.
The figures and capitals are wide, weighty, and highly graphic, producing a dense, attention-grabbing color on the page. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the combination of flaring terminals and high contrast gives the text a distinctive, carved-in look in setting samples.
