A forceful italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a calligraphic feel, with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like endings, giving letters a sculpted, slightly swashy finish. Proportions skew broad with generous curves and sturdy verticals, while the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Overall rhythm is lively but controlled, balancing sharp joins and angled stress with substantial weight in the main stems.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where emphasis and character are desirable, such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and book or album covers. It can also serve branding and packaging that needs a classic, editorial voice with strong presence.
The font projects a confident, traditional tone—suited to bold statements with a refined, literary edge. Its energetic italic movement and high-contrast shaping add drama and emphasis without feeling ornamental or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened italic expressiveness—combining traditional readability cues (clear serifs and familiar letterforms) with a more dramatic, calligraphy-influenced stroke and terminal treatment for impactful typography.
Capitals read as sturdy and emblematic, while the lowercase carries more motion through angled terminals and tapered joins. Numerals appear similarly italicized and weighty, maintaining the same contrast and serif treatment for cohesive typographic color in mixed text.
