A compact serif with pronounced diagonal stress and strongly tapered stems that swell and pinch into wedge-like, flared terminals. The contrast between thick main strokes and hairline joins is evident throughout, paired with crisp triangular serifs and sharp apexes on letters like A, V, and W. Curves are tight and slightly compressed, giving counters a narrow, vertical feel, while the overall rhythm remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The italics are assertive rather than flowing, with angled entry/exit strokes and a sculpted, chiseled silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its compact width and sharp contrast can create impact—magazine headlines, cultural posters, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pulls, decks, or section openers where a formal but lively italic voice is desired, while extended small text would require generous size and spacing.
The face reads as confident and theatrical, balancing classical serif cues with a punchy, forward-leaning energy. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modeling create a sense of prestige and urgency that feels at home in fashion, culture, and headline-driven contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic serif voice with a carved, flared-stroke aesthetic that reads as both traditional and emphatic. It prioritizes striking silhouettes, tight proportions, and high-contrast modeling to create strong recognition in headline and identity applications.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and monumental, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic motion (notably in a, f, g, and y) without becoming delicate. Numerals match the same tapered, flared construction and maintain a bold presence, with the 1 and 7 showing prominent angled strokes that reinforce the italic rhythm.
