A bold, italic serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show a strong diagonal stress with tapered joins, rounded terminals, and small, bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than rigid. The letterforms are compact and energetic, with slightly variable widths and a bouncy baseline impression driven by angled stems and curved exits. Counters are relatively tight in the heavier rounds, while the numerals and capitals maintain solid, dark silhouettes suited to larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where an assertive italic serif can add movement and emphasis. It also fits branding and packaging that want a traditional, print-forward feel with extra drama and warmth. For long body text, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and spacing due to its heavy color and tight internal shapes.
The font reads as expressive and slightly nostalgic, blending editorial seriousness with a lively, poster-like punch. Its italic motion and softened details give it a personable, warm tone rather than a strictly formal one, making it feel confident and attention-getting without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added motion and display impact, using calligraphic contrast and softened bracketed serifs to create a distinctive, print-era texture. It aims to stand out in editorial and promotional settings while still retaining familiar serif conventions.
The uppercase set shows sturdy, simplified serifs and broad curves, while the lowercase introduces more personality through a single-storey “a,” looping descenders (notably “g” and “q”), and a modestly curved “f.” The overall color on the page is dense and consistent, and the italic angle is strong enough to create momentum in headlines and short passages.
