A steeply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into wedge-like points, giving the contours a carved, energetic feel. The italics show calligraphic influence: curves are taut, joins are tight, and several lowercase forms (notably g, j, y) carry expressive hooks and descenders. Overall spacing reads compact and rhythmic, with a forward-leaning texture and lively, slightly variable letter widths across the alphabet.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine-style editorial typography, brand marks, and premium packaging where contrast and slant can carry personality. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but its sharp detailing and compact rhythm favor larger sizes over extended small-text reading.
The font projects a dramatic, classic tone with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and pointed details feel confident and high-impact, while the italic construction adds movement and a refined, slightly theatrical elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-contrast italic serif with a classical foundation and extra flourish, balancing traditional bookish forms with a more emphatic, attention-grabbing presence for modern display use.
Uppercase forms appear sculpted and assertive, with narrow internal counters and strong diagonal stress, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear silhouettes and consistent slant. Numerals are similarly stylized, featuring strong contrast and angled entry/exit strokes that keep them aligned with the letterforms.
