A high-contrast italic serif with lively, calligraphic modulation and pronounced flared stroke endings. Thick verticals and tapering hairlines create a strong light–dark rhythm, while many terminals finish in wedge-like points or softly bracketed joins. The forms are slightly condensed in feel with energetic curves, generous entry/exit strokes, and a forward lean that keeps the texture moving. Counters are relatively tight in places and the weight concentrates on the main strokes, giving the font a dense, inky presence at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other display applications where its contrast and italic energy can read clearly. It can bring a classic editorial voice to magazine layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that want an elegant but assertive presence.
The overall tone is theatrical and literary—confident, a bit vintage, and full of motion. It suggests editorial elegance with a hint of drama, making statements feel intentional and polished rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with an expressive, calligraphy-informed italic, using flared endings and strong contrast to amplify impact. It prioritizes character and momentum for attention-grabbing typography while retaining a recognizable classic serif foundation.
Capitals show pronounced italic construction with sharp diagonals and tapered serifs, while lowercase includes several more expressive shapes (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y) that add personality. Numerals match the contrast and italic slant, maintaining the same flared finishing strokes for a cohesive page color.
