A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic skeleton. Strokes expand into sharp wedge-like serifs and flared endings, with strong bracketing that keeps the joins smooth despite the high contrast. Counters are compact and rounded, curves are full and taut, and the overall rhythm is energetic with noticeable width changes from glyph to glyph. Numerals and capitals share the same bold color and sculpted, tapered terminals, producing a cohesive, punchy texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and italic momentum can be appreciated—headlines, posters, magazine titles, and brand marks. It can work for short bursts of editorial text or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading, but it is primarily optimized for high-impact display use.
The style reads as bold and theatrical, with a polished, old-world sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic motion give it an expressive, premium tone suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif structure with expressive italic flourish, delivering a bold display face that feels both traditional and attention-forward. The flared, wedge-like endings and strong contrast aim to create a distinctive silhouette and a rich typographic color at large sizes.
In running text the letterforms create a dense, high-impact line with distinct entry/exit strokes that suggest a pen-informed construction. The uppercase shows strong, sculpted silhouettes, while the lowercase adds more movement through curved shoulders and teardrop-like terminals.
