A bold, right-leaning serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and distinctly bracketed serifs that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. The design shows pronounced thick–thin modulation, with heavy stems and crisp hairlines that taper into pointed corners on letters like A, V, W, and Y. Curves are tight and energetic, with rounded bowls countered by angled joins and occasional notch-like cut-ins at connections, creating a lively texture. Lowercase forms are sturdy and slightly compact, with a single-story a and g, a long descender on f, and a buoyant, looped j that adds flourish without becoming ornate.
This font is best suited to headlines, cover lines, and other large-size settings where its contrast and sharp serif details can read cleanly. It can also work for short editorial subheads, pull quotes, and branding wordmarks that benefit from a classic yet forceful tone.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, evoking classic editorial typography with a touch of showmanship. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals feel dramatic and upscale, suited to messaging that wants to look decisive and stylish rather than quiet or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and an energetic slant, creating a more dramatic, display-ready voice while retaining familiar letterforms. It balances traditional proportions with expressive terminals and subtle flourishes to stand out in attention-driven settings.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals produce a striking, rhythmic pattern with noticeable emphasis on diagonals. Numerals are robust and similarly sculpted, with expressive curves (notably 2, 3, and 9) that reinforce the font’s display-forward character.
