A high-contrast italic serif with broad, energetic proportions and pronounced flaring at many stroke terminals. The design shows a strong diagonal stress and crisp, tapered joins, pairing thick main strokes with hairline thins and sharply cut entry/exit strokes. Serifs read as wedge-like and often integrated into the stroke as flared endings rather than flat slabs, giving a sculpted, chiseled rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with compact apertures and lively, slightly irregular italic modulation that feels calligraphically informed rather than mechanically obliqued.
Best suited to large sizes where its hairlines, flared endings, and dramatic contrast can read clearly. It works particularly well for magazine-style headlines, premium branding, theatrical posters, and packaging that benefits from an expressive, classic-leaning italic voice.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a fashion-forward, headline-driven presence. Its sharp terminals and high contrast lend a luxurious, slightly old-world elegance, while the wide stance and vigorous slant add momentum and showmanship.
The design appears intended as a display italic that combines classical serif structure with flared, calligraphic terminals to maximize drama and motion. It prioritizes striking texture and silhouette over neutrality, aiming to deliver a distinctive, high-impact typographic color.
Uppercase forms appear especially display-oriented, with strong diagonals and pointed finishing strokes that create a distinctive, spiky silhouette. Numerals share the same high-contrast treatment and italic momentum, helping figures stand out in titles and short callouts.
