A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes taper and swell with flared, bracket-like endings rather than blunt terminals, giving the outlines a sculpted, ink-driven feel. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with crisp entry/exit strokes, and the overall rhythm is flowing yet controlled, with generous counters and slightly expansive letterforms that read clearly at display sizes. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with curved forms and angled terminals that keep them visually consistent with the text.
It performs best in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial or promotional settings where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. The style also suits book covers, cultural branding, and packaging that wants a traditional serif voice with added flourish.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—refined and assertive, with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its italic energy and high contrast create a sense of movement and sophistication, suitable for messaging that aims to feel cultured and premium rather than neutral or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more calligraphic, flared finishing, producing an italic that feels authoritative and expressive. It aims to deliver strong personality and contrast while maintaining coherent, readable forms for short-to-medium text settings.
Across the alphabet, the stress is consistently diagonal, and many forms end in tapered, wedge-like strokes that add sparkle in headlines. The sample text shows strong word-shape definition and an energetic texture, making it feel more expressive than a typical text italic.
