A slanted serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and a strongly calligraphic, chiselled feel. Stems and arms often swell as they approach the ends, forming wedge-like, flared serifs and sharp, sculpted terminals. Counters are generally compact, with energetic curves and angled stress that creates a lively, forward-moving texture. The fit reads moderately tight in text, with assertive shapes and crisp, high-contrast joins that keep the overall color dark and punchy.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and slant can read clearly and add character. It performs well in editorial layouts, book or film titling, branding systems that want a classic-but-energetic voice, and premium packaging where sharp serifs and dark color convey authority.
The tone is theatrical and authoritative, balancing traditional bookish cues with a more flamboyant, display-forward energy. It feels suitable for voice-driven headlines—confident, slightly vintage, and expressive without becoming decorative. The italic angle and sharpened terminals add urgency and motion, lending a persuasive, editorial character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact italic serif that merges classical proportions with flared, wedge-like endings for a more dramatic rhythm. It aims to stay recognizably traditional while amplifying gesture and contrast to work confidently at display sizes.
Round letters show angled stress and pointed finishing strokes that keep curves from feeling soft. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, sculpted logic, with especially bold, attention-grabbing forms that match the uppercase presence. Overall consistency is strong across cases, with the lowercase maintaining a sturdy, readable silhouette while retaining the same flared, cut-from-stone ending behavior.
