A bold, right-leaning serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins. Strokes show a tapered, calligraphic logic rather than rigid modulation, with thicker verticals and sharp, triangular serifs that broaden at stroke ends. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) keep a controlled, slightly condensed inner space that reinforces a sturdy texture. Capitals feel stately and sculpted, and the lowercase combines compact, energetic forms with pronounced entry/exit strokes and sturdy shoulders, producing a lively, dense rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where its bold, italicized voice and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, magazine features, book covers, and branding marks. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial passages when a forceful, classic tone is desired, though the dense texture suggests it will be most comfortable at larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with an editorial seriousness that reads as confident and slightly theatrical. The italic slant and flared terminals add motion and rhetoric, making the voice feel energetic and emphatic rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif authority with a more expressive, calligraphic italic energy. Its flared terminals and sculpted joins aim to create a strong, memorable texture for attention-grabbing typographic statements.
The numerals match the letterforms with strong weight and flared terminals, giving figures a poster-ready presence. The ampersand is bold and distinctive, aligning with the font’s expressive, calligraphic serif treatment.
