A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline connections. Strokes end in wedge-like, subtly flared serifs and tapered terminals, giving the outlines a chiseled yet calligraphic feel. Counters are relatively tight, curves are full and energetic, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height that keeps the texture dense and readable at display sizes. The overall rhythm is lively, with noticeable modulation through joins and diagonals and a slightly variable, hand-influenced width across glyphs.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where strong contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits branding, packaging, and cultural or fashion-oriented editorial design where a confident, classic voice with a modern edge is desired.
The font conveys a dramatic, high-impact editorial tone—confident and slightly theatrical—while still reading as rooted in classical serif traditions. Its italic energy and sharp, tapered details add a sense of motion and sophistication that feels suitable for statements and emphasis rather than neutral text.
The design appears intended to deliver a powerful display serif with italic dynamism and sculpted, flared serif endings, balancing classical proportions with a more expressive, calligraphic stroke modulation for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms are stately with crisp wedge serifs and strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement in characters like a, f, g, y, and z. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, with curvy figures (notably 2, 3, 5, 8, 9) showing pronounced stroke modulation.
