A slanted serif with a calligraphic, flared construction and wedge-like terminals. Stems broaden into subtly bracketed endings, giving the serifs a sculpted, tapered feel rather than crisp hairline finishing. The letterforms show angled stress and lively curvature, with compact bowls and a slightly condensed, forward-leaning rhythm. Uppercase forms read sturdy and display-ready, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height with energetic entry/exit strokes and open counters that maintain clarity at text sizes.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where a strong italic serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and poster work that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone and prominent, sculpted terminals.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic slant that suggests sophistication and authority. Its flared endings and energetic italic flow add a sense of movement and refinement, evoking bookish, classical, and institutional cues without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with a more calligraphic, flared stroke finish, delivering an italic that feels both expressive and disciplined. It aims to provide strong presence in display settings while remaining coherent and readable in running text.
The figures are robust and well-integrated with the letterforms, matching the same flared, wedge-terminal logic. Curves and diagonals carry most of the personality, producing a strong headline presence while preserving enough regularity for continuous reading.
