A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharply tapered hairlines against weighty verticals. Serifs are crisp and often wedge-like with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a chiseled, sculptural feel. The italic construction shows lively stroke modulation and varied character widths, with narrow joins and pointed diagonals that keep the rhythm energetic. Counters are compact and the overall color is dense, making the face feel assertive and graphic at display sizes.
Best used for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and campaign typography where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also add a premium, editorial tone to branding and packaging, especially in short lines or larger sizes where sharp hairlines remain clear.
The tone is confident and theatrical, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward, headline-ready snap. Its sharp contrast and brisk italic movement read as refined yet attention-seeking, suited to moments where typography is meant to perform rather than disappear.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened contrast and an expressive italic stance, creating a polished display face for high-impact editorial and brand applications. Its sculpted serifs and energetic rhythm suggest a focus on sophistication, drama, and visual authority.
Diagonal letters and finicky joins (such as in V/W/X and k) emphasize the cut, angular personality, while round forms like O/Q show tight apertures and strong thick–thin transitions. Numerals carry the same steep contrast and italic energy, with distinctive, calligraphic curves that reinforce a consistent editorial voice.
