A high-contrast italic serif with assertive diagonals and flared, wedge-like serif endings that broaden out of the stems. The strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation, with round forms (O, Q, o) built from smooth, continuous curves and pointed joins. Many terminals finish in tapered or teardrop shapes, and the overall slant creates a lively forward rhythm. Capitals feel tall and statuesque, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact counters and energetic, angled entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to display sizes where the contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated—headlines, magazine/editorial styling, cultural posters, and book or album covers. It can also work for short, emphasis-heavy text such as pull quotes, subheads, and brand marks where a classic but dynamic italic voice is desired.
The font reads as confident and literary, combining traditional serif formality with a spirited italic motion. Its sharp, flaring details and strong contrast give it a slightly theatrical, attention-getting tone suited to refined but expressive typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif impression with extra energy through an emphatic italic angle, strong contrast, and flared stroke endings. The consistent wedge/teardrop finishing and sculpted curves suggest a focus on expressive, high-impact typography rather than quiet, utilitarian text setting.
Spacing appears moderately tight in text, producing a dense, cohesive texture typical of italic display serifs. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled logic, with curved figures showing pronounced thick–thin transitions and pointed terminals that echo the letterforms.
