A slanted serif with pronounced contrast and a calligraphic, flared finishing style. Stems taper and broaden into wedge-like endings with gently bracketed joins, giving the letterforms a carved, inked rhythm rather than mechanical terminals. Curves are full and slightly oval, counters are generous, and the overall texture reads dark and energetic at display sizes. Lowercase shows traditional serif construction with a two-storey a, a single-storey g, and lively entry/exit strokes; numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and distinctive, flowing shapes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book typography, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that benefits from a classical, expressive voice. It can also work for short text passages when set generously, but it visually excels when allowed to show its contrast and flared details at larger sizes.
The tone is classic and literary with a slightly theatrical, old-world elegance. Its strong diagonal energy and high-contrast strokes create a sense of drama and confidence, well suited to refined, expressive typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional italic serif calligraphy in a bold, contemporary display-friendly form, combining high contrast with flared stroke endings to create strong movement and a distinctive, crafted texture.
The italic angle is assertive, and several forms (notably the capitals and the numerals) emphasize sweeping curves and tapered strokes, producing a distinctly rhythmic word shape. At smaller sizes the dense weight and sharp contrast may ask for careful spacing and sufficient size to keep details crisp.
