A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and flared, wedge-like terminals that widen as strokes meet their endings. Vertical stems are stout and dark, while hairlines stay crisp, creating strong thick–thin rhythm and sharp internal counters. The serifs read as tapered and slightly bracketed rather than rectangular, and the overall drawing feels calligraphically driven with energetic curves and pointed joins. Proportions are moderately wide with open apertures in many lowercase forms, and the numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, sculpted stress that keeps the texture lively at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck typography, pull quotes, and other display applications where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that want a refined, classic-leaning voice with modern energy, and works well for magazine or cultural-event typography where strong typographic color is desired.
The face conveys a dramatic, fashion-leaning tone—confident and attention-seeking without becoming ornamental. Its crisp contrast and slanted momentum give it a formal, editorial polish with a hint of vintage showmanship.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif forms with a dynamic, calligraphic slant and flared endings, prioritizing expressive contrast and a sculpted silhouette. It aims to deliver an upscale editorial presence that reads as both classic and forceful in display settings.
In text, the slant and contrast create a distinctly patterned line, with strong vertical emphasis and sharp highlights that make word shapes feel animated. At smaller sizes or in dense blocks, the weight and contrast may dominate, but for headlines and short passages it produces a striking, premium texture.
