A robust italic serif with assertive, flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that create a carved, calligraphic rhythm. The letters show noticeable diagonal stress and a forward-leaning stance, with compact apertures and rounded bowls that keep counters relatively tight. Stroke joins are smooth and slightly tapered, while terminals often finish in teardrop-like forms, giving curves a crisp, emphatic finish. Numerals follow the same energetic italic logic, with strong diagonals and sturdy forms that read well at display sizes.
Best suited for display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, book covers, posters, and section openers where a strong italic voice is desired. It can also work for short passages, captions, and highlight text when a dense, authoritative texture is acceptable.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence. It feels bookish and refined but not delicate, balancing heritage cues with an energetic slant that adds momentum and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic serif for expressive typography, combining classic proportions with flared, calligraphy-influenced terminals to create a distinctive, high-impact reading color.
The texture in text is dark and punchy, producing strong word shapes and clear emphasis in headlines and pull quotes. The italic angle is pronounced enough to signal motion and hierarchy, while the flared endings add character without becoming ornamental.
