A high-contrast serif with a consistent rightward slant and strongly modeled, calligraphic construction. Stems are broad and dark while hairlines taper to fine, sharp terminals; many joins and stroke endings flare outward, creating pronounced, bracketed serif forms. Counters are generous and round, with crisp interior shaping and occasional notch-like detailing where thick strokes meet curves. Overall proportions read expansive, with large caps and robust lowercase that keep a steady rhythm in text while emphasizing sculpted curves and tapered diagonals.
This font performs best in display settings such as headlines, magazine and book titling, posters, and branded packaging where its high contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short text blocks at comfortable sizes, but the fine hairlines and sharp joins suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-quality reproduction.
The tone is theatrical and confident—classic in its serif vocabulary but energized by the italic sweep and bold, inky weight. It feels suited to statement typography where a sense of prestige, drama, and editorial polish is desired.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif refinement with a more expressive, flared, calligraphic energy, delivering strong presence and stylish movement in both uppercase and lowercase. The emphasis is on impact and elegance rather than neutrality, aiming for memorable typographic color in prominent applications.
Uppercase forms show strong vertical emphasis with refined hairline cross-strokes, while the lowercase has buoyant, rounded bowls and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same modeled contrast and slanted stance, presenting as display-friendly with distinctive curvature and pointed terminals.
