A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes taper into sharp terminals and wedge-like entry/exit strokes, giving the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions are generous and open, with sturdy verticals, flowing curved bowls, and energetic diagonals; counters remain clear despite the heavy weight. The lowercase shows a moderately tall presence with strong ascenders/descenders, and the figures are bold and sculptural with clear differentiation.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short-to-medium editorial passages where contrast and slant can add emphasis and sophistication. It can work well in magazine layouts, branding systems, and premium packaging where a classic serif voice is desired with extra visual punch.
The overall tone is assertive and elegant, combining classic bookish familiarity with a fashion-forward, high-impact italic energy. It reads as refined and authoritative, with a touch of theatrical contrast suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation enhanced by an energetic italic posture and heightened contrast, balancing tradition with contemporary impact for prominent typographic moments.
The rhythm is lively due to the strong slant and the dramatic contrast, creating a forward-moving texture in words. Curves and joins appear carefully shaped, and the heavier parts of letters carry a glossy, display-like density while keeping internal spaces readable.
