A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic rhythm: thick verticals and deep thins with sharp joins, tapered beaks, and slightly triangular endings that give counters a sculpted, lively feel. Proportions read generous and open, with rounded forms (C, O, Q) showing crisp hairline transitions and a forward slant that keeps the texture energetic at display sizes.
This font is best suited to headlines and other large-size applications where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated—magazine and book covers, editorial feature titles, posters, and brand marks that want a classic yet expressive italic voice. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when generous spacing and size preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, balancing classical serif cues with a more expressive, swashy italic attitude. Its sharp contrast and flared terminals add a sense of drama and motion, suggesting refinement with a hint of vintage flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, attention-grabbing italic serif with calligraphic energy, using flared stroke endings and sharp contrast to create a distinctive display texture while retaining familiar serif structure.
In the sample text the italic angle and contrast create a strong diagonal flow, while the flared terminals add sparkle along word shapes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for display typography.
