A slanted, calligraphic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes feel brush-driven and slightly chiseled, with pointed joins, sharp beaks, and tapered entry/exit strokes that give letters a lively forward momentum. Counters are compact and forms are robust, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls) are rounded but finished with decisive, angular endings. Overall spacing reads slightly tight and the rhythm is energetic, producing a dense, dark color in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and pointed terminals can be appreciated—headlines, titling, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or chapter openers, but its dense color and energetic rhythm may feel heavy for extended small-size reading.
The tone is formal yet spirited, suggesting classic penmanship with a theatrical edge. Its sharp terminals and emphatic contrast convey confidence and ceremony, while the forward slant and brisk curves add motion and personality.
Designed to evoke a traditional calligraphic look in a bold, italicized display voice, combining brush-like modulation with sharp, wedge-shaped finishes for impact. The goal appears to be a classic, expressive texture that remains legible while feeling handcrafted and ceremonial.
Uppercase letters show pronounced calligraphic shaping and strong silhouette variety, which can make headlines feel distinctive. Numerals follow the same brush-italic logic, with angled strokes and tapered finishes that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
