A high-contrast serif with an energetic rightward slant and pronounced, tapered stroke modulation. Thick verticals and hairline joins create a crisp black-and-white rhythm, while many terminals flare and pinch into sharp, triangular wedge endings rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are bracketed and often splayed, giving strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Capitals appear broad and sculptural, with deep curved bowls (C, G, O, Q) and pointed interior joins; the lowercase carries generous curves and angled entry strokes, with a single-storey a and a lively, sweeping italic construction. Numerals echo the same chiseled contrast and wedge terminals, producing strong presence at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, covers, and brand marks where contrast and flair can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes with comfortable leading, but its sharp hairlines and dramatic modulation make it most effective as a display face rather than for dense small-size text.
The overall tone is poised and theatrical—polished enough for luxury contexts, but with a dramatic, fashion-forward bite. Its sharp flares and sweeping italic forms suggest motion and confidence, leaning toward expressive editorial typography rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a refined, classic serif voice with heightened contrast and italic dynamism, using flared terminals and wedge-like endings to add a distinctive, contemporary edge for display typography.
Tight hairlines and pointed joins create a sparkling texture that benefits from ample size and breathing room. The wedge terminals and flared stroke endings add a distinctive signature, especially in diagonals and curved letters, where the contrast produces a crisp, high-gloss look.
