A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes, wedge-like terminals, and subtly flared stem endings that give forms a sculpted, chiseled feel. Curves are round and full, while joins and terminals often resolve into pointed, triangular cuts, producing crisp internal counters and a lively sparkle. The italic angle is pronounced and the rhythm is dynamic, with narrow entry strokes and heavier main stems creating a distinctly calligraphic flow. Numerals and capitals appear sturdy and compact, with strong diagonal stress and clean, sharp finishing details.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can work effectively for magazine-style layouts, branding wordmarks, and packaging that wants a classic yet striking italic voice, but is less optimized for long, small-size reading where the fine hairlines may soften.
The overall tone is dramatic and confident, balancing classical refinement with a slightly aggressive edge. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast evoke editorial sophistication, while the energetic slant adds urgency and motion.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, classical italic with strong contrast and distinctive wedge-like finishing, combining traditional serif structure with a more stylized, editorial sharpness. The consistent tapering and flared endings suggest an emphasis on expressive stroke modulation and high-impact typography.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at large sizes where the sharp terminals and contrast read as intentional detailing, and the italic construction creates a cohesive forward momentum across lines. The flared stroke endings and pointed cuts add distinctive texture, making it more expressive than a neutral text serif.
