A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, flaring stroke terminals and sharply sculpted joins. The forms show strong thick–thin modulation, with pointed wedge-like serifs and smooth, calligraphic curvature throughout. Counters are relatively open and round, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes create a lively rightward slant and varied rhythm. Numerals and capitals read sturdy and prominent, with distinctive, slightly swashy details that emphasize motion and contrast.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and slant can work at larger sizes—headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, posters, and brand marks. It can also support short, prominent text blocks where a strong editorial voice is desired, especially when paired with a quieter companion for body copy.
The overall tone is theatrical and refined, mixing classic bookish structure with a stylish, contemporary swagger. Its energetic italic flow and crisp contrast suggest sophistication, confidence, and a slightly flamboyant elegance suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an assertive italic voice with a classic serif foundation, using flared terminals and strong contrast to create drama and polish. It aims to balance readability with distinctive personality for high-impact typographic moments.
The italic construction is pronounced, with many letters showing angled stress and tapered terminals that feel pen-influenced rather than purely mechanical. The heaviest strokes remain compact and well-contained, keeping the texture dense and impactful while preserving clear interior space.
