A bold italic serif with pronounced contrast and flared, wedge-like stroke endings that read as soft, tapered serifs rather than crisp bracketed forms. The letterforms show a strong forward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with rounded bowls and smooth curves paired against sharper joins and angled terminals. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the strokes often swell then taper, giving capitals a carved, display feel while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height and energetic texture. Numerals match the italic flow and display-like modeling, with prominent curves and emphatic terminals.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its energetic italic stance and flared endings can carry personality. It can also work for short editorial elements—deck lines, pull quotes, and cover titling—where a dramatic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with an editorial, vintage flavor that feels suited to headlines and statements. Its sweeping italic motion and flared endings convey speed and confidence, while the high-contrast modeling adds a touch of elegance and drama.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif sophistication with a more animated, calligraphic italic gesture. The flared terminals and strong contrast suggest a goal of delivering impact and elegance simultaneously, prioritizing distinctive shape and motion for prominent text settings.
The font’s rhythm is driven by angled terminals and tapered finishes, creating a slightly swashy silhouette in letters like f, j, y, and z. Spacing appears tuned for display sizes, where the sharp diagonals and contrast can read cleanly without crowding.
