A high-contrast italic serif with sweeping, calligraphic movement and distinctly flared stroke endings. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, narrow joins, and crisp, pointed terminals that give the silhouettes a carved, blade-like finish. Curves are taut and forward-leaning, with compact counters and an energetic rhythm that varies by glyph, creating a lively texture in words. Numerals follow the same slanted, contrasty logic, with angled stress and sharp finishing strokes.
This face is well suited to headlines, editorial titling, pull quotes, and poster typography where contrast and motion can read large and crisp. It can also work for branding or packaging that wants a classic yet theatrical italic voice, and for book-cover display where expressive word shapes are an asset.
The overall tone is dramatic and cultivated, pairing a classic bookish sensibility with an assertive, high-fashion edge. Its sharp terminals and brisk slant feel confident and expressive, making text look intentional and stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib or engraved italic manners into a bold, high-contrast display voice, emphasizing speed, sharpness, and flared finishing strokes. It prioritizes expressive texture and striking silhouettes over quiet neutrality, aiming to deliver a distinctive editorial presence.
In continuous text the heavy diagonals and flared ends create strong word shapes and a dark, animated color. The most distinctive impression comes from the combination of narrow interior spaces, steep italic posture, and consistently pointed finishing strokes across caps, lowercase, and figures.
