A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly sculpted, flared finishing to many strokes. The letterforms show diagonal stress and sharp, wedge-like terminals, with serifs that feel bracketed and tapering rather than blocky. Curves are taut and slightly compressed, and the rhythm is lively, with noticeable width variation across glyphs. Lowercase forms lean toward a calligraphic construction, including energetic entry/exit strokes and a single-storey italic-style “a,” while capitals retain a formal, engraved presence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other display applications where contrast and slanted momentum can be appreciated. It can work well for fashion or cultural editorial, premium packaging, event posters, and brand marks that want a classic yet expressive serif voice.
The overall tone is dramatic and refined, combining old-world sophistication with a touch of flourish. Its steep contrast and energetic italic motion create a sense of motion and ceremony, suitable for expressive, attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a calligraphic, flared-stroke finish, prioritizing drama and elegance over neutrality. Its pronounced contrast and stylized terminals suggest a focus on distinctive display typography that still reads as classically rooted.
At text sizes the sharp joins and hairline-like strokes can create sparkle, while larger sizes emphasize the sculptural serifs and sweeping curves. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled logic, helping headings and display settings feel cohesive.
