A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, wedge-like terminals. Thick vertical stems dominate while hairline joins and sharply tapered serifs create a crisp, glossy silhouette. Curves are tightly controlled and slightly compressed, with small apertures and strong internal counters, giving the letters a compact, punchy rhythm. The lowercase shows energetic entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like flicks (notably on f, j, y), and the numerals follow the same chiseled contrast with angled stress and pointed ends.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, editorial opens, posters, and book-jacket titling where the contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or brand statements that want a classic-yet-expressive serif voice, but it is less ideal for long, small-size reading due to the tight counters and hairline details.
The overall tone is assertive and stylish, mixing classic print sophistication with a more theatrical, high-fashion edge. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italics read as confident and attention-seeking, suited to moments where typography should feel curated and dramatic rather than neutral.
The font appears intended as a statement serif that channels traditional high-contrast letterforms through a more stylized, italicized, and fashion-forward lens. Its design prioritizes impact, sharp detailing, and rhythmic motion in word shapes for prominent typographic moments.
The design leans on triangular notches and tapered joins that create lively sparkle at display sizes, while the dense color and tight counters can feel heavy in smaller settings. Capitals feel especially monumental and poster-ready, with strong diagonals and pointed intersections adding motion across words.
