A slanted serif with bold, sculpted letterforms and sharply tapered terminals that read as blade-like wedges rather than conventional bracketed serifs. Strokes show a lively, calligraphic modulation with pointed joins, deep ink traps/triangular cut-ins, and frequent teardrop-like endings, giving counters a carved, faceted look. The design feels intentionally irregular in rhythm: widths and internal shapes vary noticeably across glyphs, and curves often resolve into crisp points. Figures and capitals are especially graphic, with stylized diagonals and dramatic apertures that prioritize display impact over neutrality.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine and editorial titles, poster copy, branding marks, and book or album covers where a dramatic voice is desired. It can work for short bursts of text—taglines, pull quotes, packaging callouts—when you want a distinctive, high-impact texture.
The overall tone is expressive and fashion-forward, with a cinematic, slightly gothic elegance. Its sharp terminals and carved forms create a sense of tension and motion, making text feel energetic, bespoke, and attention-grabbing rather than calm or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif foundations with a decorative, calligraphic sharpness, emphasizing pointed terminals, carved counters, and a dynamic slanted rhythm. It aims to deliver a memorable, stylized presence for display use while maintaining enough letterform familiarity to remain readable at larger sizes.
In longer settings the strong slant and pronounced terminal shapes create a distinctive texture with frequent dark wedges and pointed accents. The lowercase shows a relatively compact, dense feel with assertive entry/exit strokes, while capitals carry a poster-like presence and heightened stylization.
