A sharply modulated serif italic with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a lively, calligraphic slant. Serifs are narrow and bracketed, with pointed, wedge-like terminals and a crisp finish that reads clearly at display sizes. Capitals feel compact and sculpted, while the lowercase shows energetic entry/exit strokes, teardrop-like terminals, and a single-storey italic construction that emphasizes movement. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is driven by strong vertical stems contrasted with hairline joins and diagonals, giving the face an assertive, high-ink presence.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and branding wordmarks that need a classic, authoritative flavor, while longer text will benefit from generous size and leading to avoid an overly dark color.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, with a refined, old-style elegance that leans toward editorial sophistication. Its sharp terminals and emphatic contrast create a sense of luxury and urgency, making the voice feel both classic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened drama through strong contrast and a distinctly calligraphic italic construction. It aims to project refinement and authority while remaining expressive enough for editorial and promotional typography.
The numerals echo the same italic stress and contrast, with angled top strokes and curved bowls that keep the set visually cohesive. In text, the heavy main strokes and compact spacing can create a dense texture, while the italic forms and sharp serifs maintain strong directional flow.
