A bold, high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Stems are heavy and tapered, with crisp, bracketed serifs and frequent teardrop/ball terminals that give the contours a sculpted feel. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and curves show a lively, brush-like modulation. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in an intentional, hand-influenced way; numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and more fluid forms than a strictly geometric set.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, magazine and book titling, posters, and brand marks that benefit from strong contrast and motion. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a dark, emphatic typographic color is desired.
The font projects an editorial, vintage-leaning tone with plenty of theatrical flair. Its strong contrast and italic movement feel assertive and expressive, suggesting classic print traditions with a modern, punchy presence.
The design appears intended to merge conventional serif structure with an expressive italic voice, using sharp contrast and terminal detailing to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture. It aims for classic, print-minded elegance while remaining bold enough for contemporary display use.
The italic angle is a defining feature across both uppercase and lowercase, and the design leans on curved, swelling strokes for emphasis—especially visible in rounded letters and the more decorative lowercase forms. In dense settings the heavy strokes create a dark color, so generous spacing and thoughtful line lengths help preserve clarity.
