This typeface is a slanted serif with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are compact and tightly drawn, with wedge-like joins and pointed terminals that emphasize forward motion. The lowercase shows distinctly calligraphic construction in letters like a, f, g, y, and z, pairing narrow hairlines with dense, dark main strokes. Figures are similarly high-contrast with stylized curves and angled stress, producing a strongly patterned texture in lines of text.
It suits large-size typography where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or titling in books and packaging, especially when a classic but dramatic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone reads refined and editorial, with a dramatic, high-fashion presence. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing add urgency and sophistication, evoking traditional print typography used for headlines and elegant display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and an italic, calligraphic drive, prioritizing impact and sophistication in display and editorial contexts.
In longer samples the rhythm is lively and slightly assertive, with tight counters and prominent entry/exit strokes that create a distinctive sparkle. The capital set feels formal and sculpted, while the lowercase introduces more personality through expressive terminals and curving descenders.
