This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic axis and strong, tapered stroke modulation. Serifs read as wedge-like and gently bracketed, with flared terminals that broaden into the stroke endings rather than staying blunt. Letterforms show a lively rhythm: caps are slightly narrower with sharp, angled entry/exit strokes, while lowercase has compact bowls, a single-storey a, and energetic diagonals in letters like k, v, w, and y. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and spacing feels set up for impactful display sizes rather than airy text color.
It performs best in headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial or promotional settings where contrast and italic movement can read clearly. It can also work for upscale branding and packaging when a classic serif feel is desired with added dynamism.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative with a theatrical, editorial edge. The sharp italics and flared details add motion and emphasis, giving it a refined but assertive voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and italic energy, using flared, wedge-like endings to create punchy silhouettes and a sense of crafted, calligraphic refinement.
The numeral set follows the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curving figures and sharp terminals that echo the capitals. Round letters like O/Q and bowls in p/b/d show a strong diagonal stress, and the Q’s tail is expressive, reinforcing the display-oriented character.
