A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, angular terminals and sharp joins that give letters a carved, chiselled feel. The proportions are expansive with generous letter widths and prominent capitals, while the lowercase keeps a conventional x-height and relies on sweeping entry/exit strokes for rhythm. Curves (C, O, S, e) are tightly tensioned and slightly pointed, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize sharp apexes and brisk, tapered endings. Numerals match the display-forward character, with italic movement and assertive contrast.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, magazine features, posters, and book or album covers where its contrast and slanted energy can be appreciated. It can also work for branding elements and titling in formal or heritage-leaning contexts, especially when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and ceremonial, combining classic serif authority with an energetic, calligraphic slant. It feels theatrical and editorial—suited to statements that need gravitas and motion rather than quiet neutrality. The sharp serifs and exaggerated contrast add a sense of drama and luxury, evoking traditional print and headline typography.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by adding pronounced contrast, sharp wedge serifs, and an italic, calligraphic sweep. Its wide stance and emphatic capitals suggest a focus on impactful titling and editorial presence rather than restrained body-text neutrality.
Spacing appears intentionally open in caps, letting the wide forms breathe, while the italic slant and spurred terminals create a lively baseline flow in text. The texture in paragraphs reads as strongly patterned due to the contrast and the repeated wedge terminals, which can be a defining stylistic feature at larger sizes.
