A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Thick stems and hairline connections create a crisp black-and-white rhythm, while bracketed serifs taper to sharp points and occasionally extend into subtle swashes. Proportions are generous and slightly expanded, with lively curvature in rounds and diagonals and a steady, consistent slanted axis across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and branded statements where contrast and slant can carry the composition. It also works for short, upscale text blocks at comfortable sizes where the hairlines remain clear, and for invitations or formal announcements that benefit from a classic, calligraphic finish.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining traditional bookish credibility with a fashion-forward, display-like intensity. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast feel polished and dramatic, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication.
This design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and italic energy, giving familiar letterforms a more expressive, high-impact silhouette for display-led typography.
Capitals read as stately and slightly theatrical, with pointed top serifs and tapered joins that emphasize motion. Lowercase forms show energetic entry/exit strokes and occasional flourish, which can add personality but also increases texture in dense settings.
