This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring stroke endings that give stems a chiseled, tapering feel. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with crisp entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals that add bite at display sizes. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady, traditional skeleton, while the rhythm is lively due to strong contrast and angled stress. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and formal, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement in bowls, joins, and diagonals.
Best suited to large-scale typography where the contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion or cultural posters, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially where a bold, expressive serif voice is needed. For extended small-size reading, the strong contrast and incisive details may demand careful sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is dramatic and high-end, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and emphatic contrast feel ceremonial and attention-grabbing, suggesting sophistication rather than friendliness. The slant adds momentum and a sense of performance, making it feel assertive and headline-ready.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif voice with a calligraphic slant and sculptural flare at stroke ends. It balances traditional letterform structure with heightened contrast and pointed detailing to create a memorable, display-oriented presence.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) show crisp, blade-like strokes that emphasize the font’s energetic slant, and curved letters (C, G, S) maintain clean, controlled curves with tight, pointed terminals. The texture in the sample text appears dense and punchy, with prominent word shapes and strong emphasis on capitals and italics-like forms.
