This typeface is a right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and a distinctly sculpted, flared finishing to many terminals. Stems and diagonals feel tensioned and tapered, with sharp, wedge-like serifs and tapered joins that suggest a calligraphic tool translated into crisp display forms. Curves are compact and taut, counters are relatively narrow, and the overall rhythm is forward-moving and slightly compressed, with lively modulation and pointed details that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display settings where its contrast and pointed detail can stay crisp—magazine headlines, posters, book and album covers, and brand marks that want a refined but energetic voice. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section openers, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the thin strokes and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is assertive and stylish, balancing classical bookish cues with a theatrical, fashion-forward snap. Its sharp terminals and energetic slant create a sense of speed and emphasis, making text feel more performative and headline-like than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, refined italic voice with strong calligraphic influence and flared serif shaping, optimized for expressive display typography rather than neutral reading texture.
The capitals read as stately and angular, while the lowercase adds more gesture through tapered entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, giving figures a refined, engraved look that pairs well with editorial typography.
