A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm: swelling stems, tapered joins, and sharp, angled serifs that feel cut rather than rounded. Counters are generous and open, with a generally compact, slightly condensed feel in the lowercase alongside robust, weighty capitals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with curved strokes ending in crisp points and small bracketed connections where strokes meet.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and slant can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, cultural posters, and brand marks that want a classic-yet-dramatic voice. It can also work for short editorial passages at larger sizes, where the lively rhythm and sharp details remain crisp.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining classic bookish credibility with a distinctly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals give it a sense of motion and flourish, while the traditional serif structure keeps it anchored and formal.
This font appears designed to deliver a high-impact, traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and a calligraphic slant, prioritizing elegance and presence in display typography while retaining familiar serif proportions.
Diagonal stress is visible across rounded forms, and the design relies on strong interior white space to stay readable despite the extreme stroke contrast. The sample text shows a dense, punchy texture with clear word shapes, and the italic angle remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
