A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pen-driven modulation. Thick vertical stems pair with very thin hairlines, and the bracketed serifs often flare and taper into sharp, triangular terminals, giving the face a lively, cut-in feel. Curves show diagonal stress and crisp joins, while counters stay fairly open despite the heavy weight. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly uneven in an intentional, hand-influenced way, with compact extenders and distinctive, sculpted shapes that read strongly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, and other editorial display applications where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can add authority and drama to book covers, posters, and branding wordmarks, and works well for short bursts of text such as pull quotes and section openers.
The font projects a confident, editorial tone with a touch of theatrical flair. Its sharp hairlines and flaring serifs feel refined and traditional, while the pronounced slant adds urgency and momentum. The result is both formal and attention-grabbing, suited to sophisticated but expressive typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and an italic, calligraphic sweep for maximum impact. It prioritizes expressive texture and sharp detailing over neutrality, aiming to create a recognizable, upscale presence in display typography.
Round letters like O and Q appear strongly stressed with thin transitions, and several lowercase forms show pronounced entry/exit strokes that enhance the italic motion. Numerals are bold and stylized with sharp, angled terminals, matching the serif vocabulary and keeping a consistent, high-impact texture in mixed settings.
