A right-leaning serif design with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strongly calligraphic, sheared stress. Strokes finish in tapered, wedge-like serifs and sharp terminals, with flared joins that give the contours a carved, chiseled feel. Capitals are compact and energetic, with angled entry/exit strokes and crisp diagonals; the lowercase shows lively modulation, narrow apertures, and a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm that reads as intentionally expressive rather than mechanical.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine features, book jackets, and poster work where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and titling that benefits from a traditional yet dynamic italic voice, while longer passages will appear dense and characterful.
The overall tone is elegant but forceful—more theatrical and editorial than neutral. Its sharp, tapering ends and high-contrast curves suggest tradition and formality, while the pronounced slant adds momentum and a sense of drama.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with heightened movement and contrast, combining formal proportions with a more expressive, calligraphic italic construction. The flared, wedge-like endings and sharp terminals emphasize impact and refinement for attention-driven typography.
The numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with distinctive angled strokes and tapered terminals that keep them visually consistent with the letters. In text, the texture is dark and animated, with noticeable stroke modulation that creates a strong horizontal rhythm.
