A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes taper into pointed, slightly hooked terminals and compact bracketed serifs, creating crisp entry/exit strokes and a lively diagonal rhythm. Capitals show strong vertical stress and sculpted curves, while the lowercase has energetic joins and occasional swash-like endings, giving the texture a buoyant, forward-leaning flow. Numerals follow the same contrasty, angled logic, with elegant curves and sharp finishing strokes.
Best suited for display typography where its contrast and slanted rhythm can be appreciated—editorial headlines, magazine features, book-cover titling, posters, and premium packaging. It can work for short passages such as pull quotes or leads when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone feels refined yet forceful—like a headline face that brings ceremony and momentum. Its high-contrast shapes and angled stance read as sophisticated and somewhat theatrical, conveying tradition with a confident, contemporary edge.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic serif voice with added motion and flair, combining traditional proportions with calligraphic tapering for high-impact, upscale presentation.
The design emphasizes motion through consistent slant and tapered stroke endings, producing a spirited word shape in continuous text. Counters are relatively compact in the heavier strokes, which increases punch at display sizes and adds a slightly dramatic dark color on the line.
