A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Thick vertical and diagonal strokes are paired with hairline connections and sharp, tapered terminals, while many endings broaden into flared, wedge-like forms rather than crisp, flat serifs. The outlines show lively modulation and asymmetry, with energetic diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X and strong entry/exit strokes on many lowercase forms. Counters are moderately open, curves are taut and slightly condensed by the slant, and the overall rhythm reads as punchy and display-oriented with noticeable width variation across glyphs.
Best suited for display settings where contrast and slant can be appreciated—headlines, magazine titles, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging copy where a dramatic, upscale voice is desired, but its thin hairlines suggest using it at comfortable sizes and with sufficient print/screen quality.
The font conveys a theatrical, high-impact tone—confident and slightly formal, with an expressive, old-style flair. Its sharp contrasts and swelled terminals create a sense of motion and sophistication, leaning toward editorial drama rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with a more expressive, calligraphic energy. By combining strong stroke modulation, flared endings, and a consistent italic momentum, it aims to deliver a luxurious, attention-grabbing texture for high-visibility typography.
Uppercase forms feel sculpted and emblematic, with strong diagonals and pointed joins, while the lowercase introduces more personality through swashy terminals and a lively, inked-in feel. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and appear designed to stand out in headlines, with distinctive curves and tapered strokes that emphasize the italic flow.
