A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins to heavy, rounded main stems, creating a lively black-and-white rhythm. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like terminals with subtle bracketing, and many joins form pointed beaks and teardrop shapes. Uppercase forms feel compact and statuesque, while lowercase shows more movement, with distinctive entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like terminals that add texture. Numerals and punctuation match the same dramatic contrast and angled stress, with bold, rounded bowls and crisp, cutting terminals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its high contrast and dynamic slant can read clearly. It can also support brand marks and campaign typography that wants an upscale, fashion-forward voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the fine hairlines remain visible.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—closer to magazine typography than quiet book text. Its strong slant and sharp terminals convey momentum and confidence, while the extreme contrast and glossy curves add a sense of luxury and display-driven sophistication.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model with strong contrast and an energetic italic posture, emphasizing drama and refinement over neutrality. Its expressive terminals and sculpted joins suggest a focus on distinctive, attention-grabbing typography for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
Spacing appears relatively tight in the sample text, and the strong internal shapes (counters) combined with thin connections make the texture sparkle at larger sizes. Several characters exhibit lively details—hooked and beaked terminals, deep ink traps-like notches, and expressive tails—that become part of the font’s personality in headlines.
