A dark, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring stroke endings. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, often resolving into pointed beak-like terminals that emphasize direction and motion. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is tightly packed, with a strong vertical presence and clear diagonal stress. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey “a,” looped descenders on “g,” and crisp joins that keep the texture lively even at heavier strokes.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated—magazine headings, fashion and lifestyle layouts, posters, and brand marks. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but the dense texture and sharp details suggest keeping body text sizes generous and line lengths moderate.
The font reads assertive and refined, combining a classic editorial foundation with a more theatrical, high-fashion edge. Its sharp terminals and energetic slant add urgency and sophistication, creating a confident, premium tone rather than a quiet bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on an editorial serif: traditional proportions paired with amplified contrast, a forward slant, and flared, pointed terminals to heighten drama and brand impact.
In longer lines the dense color and flared terminals create a strong pattern, with letterforms that feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic rather than strictly mechanical. Numerals share the same dramatic contrast and tapering, giving figures a display-forward presence.
