A condensed, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as calligraphic rather than mechanical. Stems and diagonals are heavy and glossy, with hairline entry/exit strokes and tightly cut internal counters. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into small wedges; terminals on letters like a, f, j, and y show sweeping, ink-trap-like thinning and angled finishing strokes. Overall spacing is compact, with a lively rhythm created by alternating broad vertical masses and very thin connecting strokes.
Best suited to display sizes where the strong contrast and narrow proportions can create impact—magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, posters, and sophisticated branding accents. It can also work for pull quotes and short subheads when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading.
The tone is elegant and emphatic, mixing classic bookish authority with a fashionable, headline-forward drama. Its slanted stance and sharp hairlines add energy and a sense of speed, while the traditional serif structure keeps it grounded and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif for sophisticated display typography, combining a classic serif skeleton with flared, calligraphic stroke logic to maximize drama and elegance in tight horizontal space.
Uppercase forms feel tall and assertive, with distinctive curved shaping in letters like Q and R and a notably sleek, narrow O. The numerals echo the same contrast and slant, giving figures a stylized, editorial character suited to display rather than utilitarian reading.
