A slanted, high-contrast serif with sharp triangular serifs and flared terminals that create a chiseled, blade-like silhouette. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with a calligraphic feel and brisk entry/exit strokes, producing lively diagonals and pointed joins. Counters are relatively compact and the overall rhythm is narrow and vertical, with crisp edges and a distinctly sculpted, faceted look across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headings, advertising, posters, and brand identities where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in print and high-resolution digital layouts, while very small sizes may lose some of the fine, tapered details.
The font conveys a dramatic, editorial tone—confident and attention-seeking, with a slightly vintage, poster-like intensity. Its sharp serifs and energetic slant read as sophisticated but forceful, suited to messaging that wants urgency and flair rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more expressive, flared, calligraphic finish—prioritizing impact, motion, and a sculpted texture. It aims to deliver an elegant yet assertive voice for titling and prominent typographic moments.
Capitals feel tall and stately with prominent wedge serifs, while the lowercase maintains a consistent italic flow and a compact, bookish texture. Numerals echo the same high-contrast, sharply finished construction, helping headlines and short numeric callouts stay visually cohesive.
