A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into tapered, beak-like terminals, while joins and curves show smooth, ink-trap-free transitions. Capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their internal space, with energetic diagonals and angled stroke endings; the Q features a long, sweeping tail. Lowercase forms are compact with brisk entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like gestures (notably in letters like g, y, and z), giving words a rolling, forward motion. Numerals echo the same italic stress with strong contrast and crisp, angled terminals.
Best suited to display sizes where the contrast, sharp terminals, and sweeping shapes can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, book or film titling, posters, and heritage-leaning branding. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available, but its dense color and animated forms are most effective in prominent, attention-led applications.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a touch of theatrical flair from the pronounced contrast and brisk italic movement. It reads as editorial and literary, evoking classic print typography while feeling emphatic and attention-grabbing in larger settings.
Designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened impact, combining conventional text-serif structure with a more expressive italic stance and assertive contrast. The intent appears to be strong readability at display sizes while adding sophistication and drama through calligraphic detailing and energetic terminals.
The texture in text is dark and punchy, with tight counters and strong vertical emphasis despite the italic slant. Letterforms maintain consistent stress and terminal treatment across cases and figures, creating a cohesive, energetic line when set in paragraphs or headlines.
