A right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and thin hairlines, paired with softly bracketed, flared terminals. The outlines feel calligraphic, with teardrop-like joins and tapered entry/exit strokes that create lively modulation. Proportions are generously set with broad capitals and rounded bowls, while spacing and letterfit read as display-oriented, producing a strong, dark texture in words. Numerals match the italic rhythm and show curving forms and angled stress that maintain the same crisp contrast and flared finishing.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where an expressive italic serif can carry the visual identity. It also fits premium packaging and editorial layouts that benefit from high-contrast, calligraphic detail, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, mixing classic sophistication with a spirited, energetic slant. Its sharp hairlines and swelling terminals give it an upscale, editorial voice, while the sweeping curves add a hint of vintage flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding, attention-grabbing italic serif with classic roots and modern punch. By combining high contrast with flared, bracketed finishing and broad proportions, it aims for memorable display typography that reads as refined yet energetic.
Distinctive italic shapes—especially the curled descenders and brisk, angled horizontals—create a sense of speed and movement. The dark weight and crisp contrast make it visually striking, but also mean it will dominate a layout when set in longer runs.
