A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward italic slant and sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Stems alternate between hairline thins and robust verticals, with sharply tapered joins and neatly bracketed wedge serifs that read crisp at display sizes. The lowercase shows energetic, somewhat idiosyncratic proportions—single‑storey a and g, a narrow, slightly angular r, and a tall, slender f—while capitals feel more formal and carved, with strong vertical stress and carefully cut terminals. Numerals follow the same contrasty, angled rhythm, mixing straight-backed forms with softly swelling curves.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, posters, and identity work that benefits from sharp contrast and italic energy. It can also work for short editorial passages or captions when set generously, but it is most convincing when allowed to show its hairlines and sculpted serifs at larger sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, blending old-style literary authority with a fashion/editorial edge. Its steep contrast and slanted movement give it a sense of speed and flourish, while the serif detailing keeps it anchored in tradition.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and an italic, calligraphic drive, aiming for impactful readability and a refined, contemporary editorial flavor rather than a quiet, utilitarian text face.
Spacing appears comfortable in larger text, but the extreme contrast and fine hairlines make the texture sparkle, especially in italic runs and at smaller sizes. Several letters show lively, slightly swashy shaping that adds personality and can create a more expressive rhythm in headlines than in dense paragraphs.
