A heavy, right-leaning serif with sharply modulated strokes and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Thick verticals and diagonals are paired with hairline joins and tapered entry/exit strokes, producing a crisp, sculpted rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often finish in pointed, swept forms; several lowercase letters show teardrop/ball-like terminals and angled cross-strokes that heighten the sense of motion. Counters are relatively tight at this weight, while curves remain clean and continuous, giving the overall texture a dense, high-impact color on the page.
Best suited to short-form settings where contrast and italic momentum can shine—magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers, but its dense texture and sharp modulation suggest using it at larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The tone is bold and theatrical, balancing old-style elegance with modern, fashion-forward punch. Its steep contrast and energetic italic flow read as confident and attention-seeking, with a refined, editorial finish rather than a rustic or distressed feel.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic serif for display typography, emphasizing contrast, sweep, and stylized terminals to create a luxurious editorial voice. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and silhouette clarity, aiming for memorable headlines and brand-forward statements.
Capitals have a chiseled, display-oriented presence, with strong diagonals (notably in N, V, W, X) and crisp apexes. Numerals follow the same swashy, tapered logic, with curving strokes and sharp cut-ins that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
