This typeface is an italic serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves show diagonal stress and tapered joins, with pointed entry/exit strokes that give letters a brisk, directional flow. The forms are compact and lively, with varied letter widths and tight interior counters in several glyphs, reinforcing an energetic texture in text. Terminals often finish in teardrop or hooked shapes (notably in letters like j, y, and some numerals), while capitals maintain crisp, sculpted silhouettes that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and other short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It works well for editorial design, magazine typography, book covers, and promotional materials that benefit from a refined yet assertive serif voice.
The overall tone is dramatic and cultivated, evoking a classic editorial voice with a touch of theatrical flair. Its strong slant and sculpted details add urgency and elegance, making lines feel dynamic rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation energized by italic calligraphic cues—combining classical proportions with sharper, more expressive finishing strokes to stand out in display typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pointed details create a striking rhythm, especially in bold sizes, where the black strokes form a dense, confident color on the page. The numerals follow the same italic logic, with stylized curves and emphatic terminals that match the alphabet’s calligraphic energy.
