A forceful italic serif with strongly tapered, calligraphic strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are broad and open, with sharp wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs that often flare into pointed ends. Curves show a crisp, chiseled feel, while diagonals and joins create energetic angles that emphasize forward motion. Spacing appears generous for a serif italic, supporting large-size readability and impactful word shapes.
Best suited to display applications where its contrast and sweeping italic forms can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book and film titles, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial bursts such as pull quotes or section openers, but its strong personality makes it less ideal for long-form body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is dramatic and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and literary flavor. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast rhythm convey elegance with an assertive edge, reading as classic yet attention-seeking rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened motion and contrast, pairing traditional construction with sharper, more theatrical terminals for high-impact typography.
The italic construction is prominent across both cases, with lively entry/exit strokes and a slightly theatrical silhouette in letters like Q, R, and the lower-case a, g, and y. Numerals share the same sweeping, tapered logic, giving headlines and pull quotes a consistent, stylized texture.
