A compact, high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear rightward slant. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and wedge-like terminals that sharpen into tapered tips, giving strokes a calligraphic, carved quality. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is dense, with strong vertical emphasis tempered by sweeping entry and exit strokes. The overall color on the page is dark and assertive, with crisp edges and lively curves that keep large sizes energetic.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also serve premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, assertive serif voice, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and sophistication with a dramatic italic flourish. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of ceremony and momentum, making it feel confident and slightly theatrical without becoming ornamental script.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a bold, high-contrast italic that reads as dynamic and attention-grabbing. Its sharpened terminals and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on expressive display typography while retaining a traditional typographic structure.
In continuous text the italic angle and heavy weight create a strong forward drive, and the high contrast becomes most prominent at display sizes. Numerals match the same energetic stress and tapered finishing, contributing to a cohesive, emphatic texture in headlines and pull quotes.
