A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at stroke endings. Serifs are sharply cut and often triangular, with bracketed joins that give stems a carved, tapered feel. The forms show lively, calligraphic rhythm: diagonals are energetic, curves are full, and counters are moderately open for the weight. Capitals read as dignified and slightly formal, while the lowercase introduces more movement with tapered joins and a noticeable, angled stress that becomes especially evident in letters like a, e, g, and y. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, with strong curves and crisp terminals that keep them assertive in text.
This font performs best in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display settings where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It’s a strong choice for editorial layouts, magazine branding, book covers, and poster typography that needs a classic voice with added drama and motion.
The overall tone is editorial and traditional, projecting confidence and refinement with a dramatic, fashion-like flair. Its sharp terminals and emphatic contrast add a sense of urgency and sophistication, making it feel well suited to premium, story-driven typography rather than neutral utility text.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with a more expressive, italicized calligraphic energy. By combining flared terminals, sharp serifs, and high contrast, it aims to deliver an upscale, attention-grabbing texture suitable for sophisticated branding and editorial storytelling.
The design leans on wide, sweeping curves and tapered entries/exits that create a consistent forward motion across words. Stroke endings often finish in pointed wedges, producing a crisp texture at larger sizes and a distinctly “inked” character despite the clean, typographic construction.
