A very dark, high-contrast italic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic slant. Serifs are bracketed and often taper into sharp, wedge-like endings, while several letters feature rounded/teardrop terminals that add a slightly swashy finish. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, giving the face a compact, inky texture in text. The lowercase shows lively curves and expressive joins, and the numerals echo the same italic stress with sculpted, angled terminals.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and italic energy can shine—magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or front-matter typography where a strong, classic voice is desired, but the dense weight and lively terminals make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The font reads as traditional and editorial, with a confident, headline-forward presence. Its dramatic contrast and energetic italic rhythm suggest heritage printing and classic publishing, while the heavy color makes it feel emphatic and bold in tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened drama: a forceful, high-contrast italic optimized for impact and motion rather than neutrality. Its mix of sharp wedge serifs and rounded terminals suggests a deliberate balance between formal editorial polish and expressive flair.
Stroke endings are frequently angled, creating a fast forward motion across lines. The overall texture in paragraphs is dense and punchy, and letterforms show intentional stylistic flair (notably in curved capitals and ball-terminal details) that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
