This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic, right-leaning axis. Strokes taper into sharp, flared terminals and finely cut serifs, giving many joins and endings a blade-like finish. The forms are narrow and energetic with tight interior counters, while capitals feel stately and sculpted, showing crisp apexes and strong diagonals. Numerals and lowercase share the same high-contrast rhythm, with noticeable curve-to-stem transitions and frequent teardrop-like shaping in bowls and joints.
This design is best suited to headlines, magazine features, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and slanted momentum can read as intentional style. It can also work well on premium packaging and event materials, especially at larger sizes where the fine serifs and tapered terminals remain crisp.
The overall tone is dramatic and refined, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashionable, display-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and sweeping italic motion convey elegance, confidence, and a sense of high-end editorial styling.
The letterforms suggest an intention to evoke traditional serif prestige while amplifying motion and drama through an italic, calligraphic structure and flared finishing. It appears designed to deliver a high-impact editorial voice with an upscale, crafted character.
The texture on a line is lively and sparkling due to the extreme contrast and tapered details, which create bright highlights and dark anchors. Several glyphs exhibit subtle swash-like movement (notably in curving letters and the Q), reinforcing a formal, crafted feel rather than a purely mechanical one.
