A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly calligraphic modulation. Thick vertical and main strokes are paired with hairline joins and sharp, tapering terminals, creating a sculpted, energetic rhythm across words. Serifs are finely cut and generally bracketed, with pointed, wedge-like entry/exit shapes that emphasize motion; curves show tight inner counters and crisp joins. The overall texture is dense and dark at text sizes, with noticeable stroke flare and varied character widths that give lines a lively cadence.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine typography, and promotional copy where a luxurious, high-contrast texture is desirable. It can support branding and packaging that want a traditional serif foundation with a more dynamic, stylized presence, and works best when given enough size or spacing to keep hairlines clear.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, blending classical bookish refinement with a fashion-like edge. Its sharp hairlines and emphatic slant read as confident and upscale, while the lively stroke endings add a hint of drama and speed.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and a strong italic posture, aiming for an expressive, editorial look rather than a neutral reading face. The sharp terminals and sculpted serifs suggest an intention to evoke engraved or calligraphic refinement while maintaining conventional text-serif familiarity.
Round letters maintain compact counters and strong stress, and the numerals follow the same engraved, high-contrast logic with angled terminals. In continuous text, the slanted forms and narrow hairlines create a distinctive sparkle, favoring display and short-form reading where its detail can be appreciated.
