A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic, chiseled construction. Thick vertical and diagonal strokes drop quickly into hairline connections, producing bright, sparkling counters and a strong light–dark rhythm. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, often ending in pointed, wedge-like terminals, and many joins show a fluid, pen-like modulation. Proportions lean broad with generous set-widths, while capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in their inner spaces due to the heavy main strokes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its contrast and slanted rhythm can be appreciated. It works especially well in magazine layouts, fashion or cultural posters, book covers, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic yet energetic serif voice.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, with an editorial sheen that reads as confident and slightly theatrical. Its contrast and italic energy add motion and flair, suggesting luxury, tradition, and a refined sense of display.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with heightened contrast and an italic, calligraphic liveliness—aiming for strong visual impact while retaining a familiar, literary foundation.
The italic forms show lively, varied entry and exit strokes, with some letters featuring subtly swashed terminals that emphasize movement. Numerals follow the same contrast and angular terminal language, keeping the texture consistent in mixed text.
