A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes swell and taper with sharp, wedge-like terminals, and many joins resolve into soft bracketing that reads as subtly flared rather than strictly hairline-serifed. The proportions feel slightly condensed in the lowercase, with lively, somewhat narrow counters and a strong diagonal rhythm through letters like v, w, x, and y. Numerals share the same energetic modulation, with angled entries/exits and crisp triangular finishing strokes that keep the texture dense and punchy.
This font is best suited to display settings where strong typographic color and italic energy are desirable—headlines, pull quotes, cover titling, and brand moments that need a classic-but-bold feel. It can work in shorter text passages at larger sizes, where the sharp modulation and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, mixing classical italic sophistication with a more assertive, poster-ready presence. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast movement create a sense of speed and emphasis, lending a confident, slightly theatrical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, high-contrast italic voice with traditional serif cues, optimized for impactful reading at display sizes. Its flared endings and wedge terminals suggest a goal of combining formal elegance with contemporary punch and momentum.
Uppercase forms are robust and sculpted, with noticeable stroke swelling and angled stress that keeps straight-sided letters from feeling rigid. The lowercase shows clear italic traits—single-storey forms and sweeping descenders—while maintaining a consistent dark color across lines of text.
