A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and flared stroke endings that create a sculpted, calligraphic texture. The letterforms show broad, slightly compressed internal counters and a lively rhythm driven by angled stress and tapered joins. Serifs appear bracketed and wedge-like, with terminals that flick and swell rather than ending bluntly, giving strokes a chiseled, inked quality. Uppercase forms feel substantial and display-oriented, while the lowercase carries energetic diagonals and curved entries that enhance the italic flow; numerals match the same high-contrast, flared construction for a cohesive set.
Best used for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and titling where its high-contrast, flared details can be appreciated. It fits poster work, book and album covers, magazine features, and expressive packaging or branding systems that want a classic-but-bold voice. It can also work for short bursts of display text where a dramatic italic serif is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a classic, slightly old-world flavor. Its energetic slant and flaring terminals add drama and motion, making text feel more performative than neutral. The style reads as editorial and expressive, suited to moments where typographic personality is part of the message.
The design appears intended to translate calligraphic, angled-stress drawing into a bold display serif, using flared endings and strong contrast to heighten presence. It aims for immediacy and impact while retaining traditional serif cues, producing a refined yet emphatic texture for attention-forward typography.
In running text, the strong diagonals and swelling stroke endings create a distinctive dark-and-light pattern that can feel lively and ornate, especially at larger sizes. Round letters and diagonally constructed capitals contribute to a dynamic baseline impression, and the punctuation and figures visually follow the same angled, high-contrast logic.
