An italic serif with energetic, calligraphy-leaning construction and firmly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show clear thick-to-thin modulation, with tapered terminals and slightly flared endings that give verticals a carved, inked feel. The rhythm is compact and forward-leaning, with tight internal counters and crisp joins that read cleanly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals feel assertive and structured, while the lowercase is more fluid, with a single-story a and g and a lively, cursive-like flow.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium display settings where the italic character can carry tone and emphasis. It can also work for book and magazine applications—particularly covers and section openers—where a classic serif voice with extra motion is desired. For branding, it fits wordmarks that want a refined, heritage-leaning feel with a bit of bite.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, slightly theatrical slant. It evokes printed editorial typography and old-style formality, delivering a sense of authority without becoming rigid. The strong italic momentum adds urgency and elegance at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence while amplifying emphasis through a strong italic angle, tapered strokes, and assertive serif shapes. Its overall construction prioritizes expressive texture and impact in larger settings over neutral invisibility.
The shapes emphasize sharp diagonals and pointed apexes, producing a brisk texture across lines of text. Curves are compact and slightly compressed, and many terminals finish with a decisive, angled cut that reinforces the dynamic, slanted voice.
