A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and energetic, calligraphic construction. Thick main strokes taper quickly into sharp, flared terminals, and the serifs read as wedge-like, often angled, with a slightly engraved feel. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, G, O, Q) while joins and cross strokes stay crisp, giving the face a lively rhythm despite its weight. The lowercase shows compact, sculpted forms with strong entry/exit strokes and a single-storey a, and the figures echo the same contrast and tapering for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the strong contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can work for short-to-medium editorial text at comfortable sizes, but it especially shines in posters, book covers, and branding where a classic yet emphatic voice is desired.
The font conveys a confident, tradition-minded tone with a theatrical edge. Its sweeping italics and sharp terminals suggest heritage publishing, ceremony, and assertive headline voice rather than quiet neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to blend traditional serif proportions with a more calligraphic, flared finishing, creating an italic meant to feel luxurious and emphatic. The consistent tapering and sharp terminals suggest an intention to deliver high-impact typography with a refined, historical flavor.
The design leans on dynamic diagonals and pointed details, so spacing and counters become visually important at smaller sizes. In display settings the tapered serifs and contrast produce a distinctive sparkle, especially in combinations with strong diagonals and round letters.
