A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and gently bracketed serifs. The strokes show a calligraphic, slightly irregular flow: terminals and serifs often flare into wedge-like shapes, and curves are full and rounded, giving counters a generous, open feel. Proportions run on the wide side with steady rhythm across the alphabet, while the italic angle is consistent and energetic. Figures are weighty and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with strong curves and clear differentiation.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text where an emphatic italic serif voice is desired. It works well for editorial layouts, book and magazine titling, packaging, and brand statements that need a classic foundation with added drama and motion.
The font conveys a confident, traditional voice with a touch of theatrical flair. Its bold italic presence feels assertive and editorial, suggesting authority and emphasis while retaining a warm, human, inked character rather than a clinical, mechanical one.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif texture in an intentionally forceful italic—combining familiar letter skeletons with amplified contrast and flared detailing for impact. It prioritizes a strong, expressive presence that reads as authoritative and crafted.
The lowercase shows lively movement, with distinctive descenders (notably in g, j, y) and a single-storey a that reinforces the handwritten influence. Uppercase forms stay classic in structure but gain personality through curved serifs and swelling joins, helping the face read as expressive at display sizes while remaining coherent in continuous text.
