A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are sturdy and dark, while joins and exit strokes narrow quickly into fine hairlines, creating a crisp, energetic texture. The letters lean with a consistent rightward slant and show calligraphic influence in the curved terminals, especially in the lowercase where bowls and tails sweep outward. Spacing reads moderately open for an italic, but the heavy main strokes keep the overall color dense and impactful in display sizes.
Works best for large-size applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and film titles, and event posters where the contrast and italic rhythm can be appreciated. It can also serve as a distinctive accent face in branding or packaging, paired with a calmer text companion for long-form reading.
The face conveys a traditional, literary tone with a theatrical edge. Its strong contrast and sweeping italic motion feel refined and formal, yet emphatic—suited to statements, headlines, and expressive typographic moments rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and expressive italic movement, balancing classic readability cues with a more performative, display-forward presence.
Uppercase forms appear slightly more restrained and classical, while the lowercase introduces more flourish in letters like a, f, g, j, and y. Numerals share the same italic momentum and contrast, with curving strokes and tapered terminals that keep them aligned with the text style.
