This typeface is a sharply slanted serif with a dynamic, calligraphic construction and pronounced stroke modulation. Strokes move from hairline-thin connections to weighty verticals, with wedge-like, flared endings that read as brisk, inked terminals rather than blunt slabs. Curves are full and slightly tensioned, and the joins and corners often resolve into pointed beaks and crisp tips, giving the shapes a lively bite. Proportions feel traditional but assertive: capitals are broad and stately, while the lowercase shows sturdy bowls and a confident, slightly compact rhythm with italic-style entry and exit strokes.
It performs best in headlines and large sizes where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated without filling in. It suits magazine mastheads, promotional posters, and brand marks that want a refined yet forceful presence, and can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and spacing.
Overall it conveys a high-fashion, high-drama tone—confident, theatrical, and polished. The sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of urgency and sophistication, while the classic serif structure keeps it grounded in editorial tradition.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif proportions with a contemporary, fashion-led intensity. By pairing strong contrast with flared, ink-like endings and a pronounced slant, it aims to deliver a premium display voice that feels both traditional and boldly expressive.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same sweeping, tapered logic as the letters, producing a cohesive, display-forward texture. In continuous text the dark strokes build a strong typographic color, with the slant and pointed details creating noticeable forward motion.
