A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems move from thick verticals into sharp wedge-like serifs and flared endings, giving the letterforms a chiseled, energetic edge. Curves are tight and polished, with pointed joins and angled stress that creates a lively rhythm across words. Counters are moderately compact, and spacing feels assertive, producing dense, impactful text color at display sizes while retaining a refined, classical structure.
Best suited to headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and cover typography where its contrast and slant can work at comfortable sizes. It can also add a premium, literary voice to branding and packaging, especially when paired with a restrained roman or a neutral sans for supporting text.
The tone is formal and theatrical, balancing old-style sophistication with a sense of speed and emphasis from the strong italic angle. It reads as confident and cultured—suited to headline moments where you want elegance with bite rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, wedge-like finishing, creating a strong display presence. Its goal is expressive emphasis—fast, elegant word shapes with a crisp, engraved feel.
Caps show strong, sculpted silhouettes and sharp serifing that reads cleanly in isolation; the italics feel integrated rather than mechanically slanted. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive, stylized curves that reinforce the dramatic texture in running text.
