A narrow, strongly slanted serif with calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show tapered entries and exits with noticeable modulation, producing crisp hairlines and firmer main strokes. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in a decorative way, with compact letterforms, tight counters, and pronounced italic movement. Numerals and capitals keep the same angled stress and sharp, wedge-like finishing, giving the set a cohesive, high-energy texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where its strong italic character can be a feature—posters, book and album covers, magazine headlines, and branded titling. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a classic, dramatic voice is desired, especially when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical—refined enough for classic editorial styling, but expressive and slightly flamboyant in its motion. Its dramatic slant and sharp detailing suggest elegance with personality rather than quiet neutrality.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened italic expressiveness—combining traditional serif cues with narrow proportions and calligraphic tapering to stand out in titles and stylized text.
The narrow proportions and brisk diagonals create strong forward momentum, while the bracketing and tapered terminals keep the forms from feeling mechanical. In continuous text it produces a dark, energetic color with distinctive word shapes and an old-style, print-like character.
