A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapering terminals that often flare into wedge-like endings. Strokes move between hairline thins and weighty verticals, with a distinctly calligraphic modulation and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Serifs read as sharp and sculpted rather than rectangular, and many joins and curves resolve into pointed, ink-trap-like notches or angled cuts. The overall texture is compact and energetic, with tight counters and a forward-driving stance that keeps words visually cohesive at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and titles where its contrast and sharp details can be appreciated. It fits editorial layouts, fashion/beauty branding, posters, and book covers that want a refined but attention-grabbing serif. For longer passages, it will be most effective in larger sizes with comfortable spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines and pointed terminals.
The tone is assertive and elegant, combining classic serif authority with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and steep slant add a sense of motion and theatricality, making it feel more like a headline voice than a neutral text workhorse.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, display-oriented serif voice with a distinctly calligraphic slant and sculpted finishing strokes. Its flared, tapered terminals and strong contrast prioritize personality and visual impact while retaining a traditional serif foundation.
Uppercase forms emphasize strong vertical presence and crisp finishing strokes, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic character in letters like a, f, g, and y through tapered entry/exit strokes and pointed details. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted momentum, with narrow, stylized shapes that maintain the font’s sharp, carved feel.
