A bold, right-leaning serif with high contrast and strongly tapered, flared stroke endings. Letterforms show a calligraphic skeleton with dynamic thick–thin transitions and sharp, wedge-like terminals, creating a lively rhythm across words. Capitals are broad and sculpted with pronounced curves and angled stress, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the text style with curving forms and contrasting strokes, reading best at display sizes where the detailing and tapering remain clear.
This font is well suited to headline typography, magazine and book display settings, poster work, and brand identities that want a confident, upscale voice. It can also work on packaging and promotional materials where its high contrast and flared terminals can be shown at generous sizes.
The overall tone is expressive and confident, combining classical serif structure with a showy, italicized swagger. It feels dramatic and editorial—suited to statements rather than neutrality—bringing a sense of sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a display serif that merges traditional proportions with italic, calligraphic energy. Its flared terminals and sharp contrast suggest a focus on expressive word shapes and strong presence in short runs of text.
The oblique slant and pronounced contrast create a strong forward motion, and the flared terminals give strokes a carved, inked quality. Spacing appears tuned for impactful headlines, with distinctive silhouettes that favor personality over quiet text anonymity.
