A high-contrast serif with a strong rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic build. Stems and bowls show sharp thick–thin modulation with tapered joins, while the serifs are bracketed and pointed, often ending in wedge-like terminals. The design feels expansive in its caps and numerals, with lively curves and occasional swash-like strokes (notably in letters with tails and diagonals). Counters are moderately open, and spacing reads a touch generous, giving the letterforms room to display their contrast and flare.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine and editorial titling, book covers, and campaign posters where the high contrast can be appreciated. It can also serve branding and packaging that want a classic-serious voice with extra punch, and it pairs well with restrained sans serifs for supporting text.
The font conveys a confident, classic tone with a dramatic, slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp contrast and angled posture suggest sophistication and urgency—suited to statements rather than quiet neutrality—while the traditional serif construction keeps it rooted in familiar editorial typography.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and a more expressive, calligraphic italic stance. Its emphasis on sharp modulation, tapered terminals, and assertive proportions suggests a focus on impactful reading at larger sizes and on conveying prestige and drama.
Uppercase forms appear robust and attention-grabbing, with emphatic diagonals and strong horizontal stress. Lowercase features pronounced entry/exit strokes and energetic tails that add motion, especially in letters like g, j, y, and z. Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and italic rhythm, reading best at display sizes where fine hairlines can stay crisp.
