A vigorous italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic skeleton and flared stroke endings. Strokes swell and taper with a smooth, brush-like rhythm, and terminals often finish in teardrop or wedge shapes. The italic angle is pronounced, with generous curves and lively entry/exit strokes that give letters a forward momentum. Counters are rounded and open, while capitals are wide and assertive, showing strong diagonals and curved joins; figures match the same slanted, tapered logic for a cohesive text color.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where its slanted, high-energy forms can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or promotional copy when a bold, expressive serif voice is desired.
The overall tone feels energetic and expressive while still rooted in traditional serif form. It reads as confident and slightly theatrical, lending a handcrafted warmth that suggests motion and emphasis rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif presence with heightened motion and emphasis, combining italic calligraphy with flared, sculpted endings for a distinctive display personality.
Sharp diagonals and sweeping curves create a dynamic texture, and the flare at stroke ends adds a subtly engraved or inked impression. The heavier weight and broad capitals make it especially strong in short lines, while the consistent italic construction keeps longer setting cohesive.
