A high-contrast italic serif with a strong calligraphic skeleton and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms lean forward with energetic, sweeping entry and exit strokes, and stems often broaden into tapered, flared terminals rather than ending in blunt slabs. Serifs are sharp and blade-like, with pointed beaks and curved wedges that give the outlines a sculpted, ink-on-paper feel. Counters are relatively open despite the dark weight, while the overall rhythm alternates between compact joins and extended swashes, especially in the diagonals and curved letters. Figures follow the same angled, cut-in styling with distinctive diagonal stress and crisp, tapered endings.
This face is well suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, magazine mastheads, and book or album covers where high contrast and italic momentum are assets. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a classic-yet-dramatic voice, especially in short phrases or title-case settings.
The font projects a bold, dramatic elegance—equal parts traditional and showy. Its sweeping italic motion and razor-edged details suggest a confident, theatrical tone suited to attention-grabbing typography with a refined, classic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver an assertive display italic with a distinctly calligraphic bite—combining sharp serif details, flared terminals, and strong contrast to create immediate impact and a sense of crafted sophistication.
In the sample text the dense color and tight internal spaces can build quickly across long lines, making word-shapes feel lively but intense. The design’s expressive terminals and angled stress create strong texture, which reads best when given generous size, spacing, or line height to let the detailing breathe.
