A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into wedge-like feet, producing a chiselled, energetic edge. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal counters, while lowercase forms show lively, calligraphic stress and compact joins that create dense, dark word shapes. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and angled finishing, reading as bold, display-ready figures.
This font performs best in headlines, deck copy, and other editorial settings where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also suits magazine branding, poster typography, and premium packaging where a confident, classic voice is needed. For extended reading, it will typically work better in larger sizes with generous leading to manage its dense texture.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, combining classic bookish manners with a fashion-forward punch. It feels refined but forceful, with a sense of motion from the consistent slant and the sharp, ink-trap-like tapering at terminals. The result is elegant rather than delicate—more headline authority than quiet text warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast, slanted momentum, and sharpened detailing for impact. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and luxurious, print-oriented character, aiming to bridge traditional serif credibility with modern display presence.
Spacing appears intentionally tight in massed text, emphasizing strong rhythm and a continuous black texture. Many strokes end in pointed or blade-like terminals, which increases sparkle at larger sizes but can create a more aggressive texture in long lines. The design’s contrast and angular details make it especially sensitive to size and line spacing choices.
