A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly shaped, flared terminals. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracket into the stems, giving the letterforms a carved, sculptural finish rather than flat slabs. Curves are generous and slightly taut, with compact apertures and assertive joins that create a dense, rhythmic texture in text. The overall silhouette reads wide and stable, with lively stroke endings and a consistent italic flow across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where contrast and motion can be appreciated—magazine and editorial layouts, posters, and strong brand statements. It can also work for packaging and campaign graphics that need a classic voice with added punch, but its dense color favors display sizes over extended small-body reading.
The tone is confident and theatrical: classic serif formality mixed with an energetic, almost athletic slant. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast rhythm add drama, while the sturdy weight and broad stance keep it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened contrast and expressive, flared finishing strokes, creating an italic that feels both premium and attention-grabbing. It aims to balance classic legitimacy with dynamic movement for display-forward typography.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a continuous forward motion with noticeable swash-like entry/exit strokes on several letters. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stress, appearing assertive and designed to stand out rather than quietly serve in long tables.
