A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly tapered strokes. Thick verticals and hairline connections create a sharp, sculpted rhythm, while bracketed wedge-like serifs and crisp terminals add a refined, print-oriented finish. Uppercase forms feel broad and steady, with generous bowls and clear internal counters; the lowercase shows more movement, with lively entry/exit strokes, a compact footprint, and occasional swash-like flourishes. Numerals follow the same contrasty, italicized logic, giving the set a cohesive, energetic texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, posters, and cover treatments where its contrast and slanted posture can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding, pull quotes, and short passages where a classic, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and confident, combining classic serif authority with a sense of motion and theatrical emphasis. It reads as polished and upscale, leaning toward an editorial or heritage feeling rather than minimal or utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with amplified contrast and an italic, calligraphic energy—aimed at expressive display and editorial settings where elegance and emphasis are priorities.
The italic angle is noticeable enough to shape line texture, producing a forward-leaning cadence and strong word silhouettes. Contrast is pushed to a display-friendly level, so small sizes may require careful use depending on reproduction conditions.
