A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Stems are heavy and tapered with sharp transitions into hairline joins, creating a vivid thick–thin rhythm across text. Counters are relatively tight and the overall drawing feels sculpted, with pointed terminals and angled entry/exit strokes that add snap to curves and diagonals. Uppercase forms are sturdy and formal, while the lowercase shows more motion through slanted stress and lively, slightly calligraphic detailing; numerals echo the same angled, cut-like finishing.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, article openers, posters, covers, and brand marks where contrast and italic motion can be showcased. It can also work for short bursts of text (e.g., pull quotes or lead-ins) when set at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines and sharp detailing.
The font projects a theatrical, high-fashion tone—confident and refined, with a sense of motion and flair. Its sharp contrast and italic energy read as sophisticated and attention-seeking, lending a slightly vintage, print-editorial character to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and an energetic italic stance, producing a dramatic, premium look for attention-driven settings. Its angular serifs and tapered strokes emphasize sharpness and momentum, aiming for a refined yet forceful editorial presence.
In the sample text, the dense black texture and strong contrast create an impactful color on the page, but the narrow hairlines and sharp joins also make spacing and size choice feel important for comfortable reading. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same angular, tapered treatment, helping maintain a cohesive, incisive voice across mixed text.
