A highly contrasted serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Thick stems and bowls are paired with extremely fine hairlines, creating sharp snap in joins and prominent vertical stress. Serifs are tapered and crisp rather than slabby, with occasional beak-like terminals and subtle swash behavior on diagonals and lowercase entry/exit strokes. Proportions are expansive and display-oriented, with broad capitals, generous curves, and compact counters that emphasize the weight contrast in text settings.
Best suited for large-size typography where its hairlines and sharp contrast can remain clear: magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks. It can add a luxurious, high-impact tone to packaging and short-form promotional text, especially when ample tracking and line spacing are available.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, combining classic refinement with a punchy, attention-grabbing presence. It reads as upscale and editorial, with a slightly flamboyant flair that feels suited to fashion and dramatic headlines rather than quiet body copy.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that amplifies contrast and slanted motion for maximum visual impact. Its crisp serifs, vertical stress, and stylized terminals suggest a display-focused take on traditional high-contrast forms, optimized for expressive titles and branding rather than extended reading.
The uppercase shows strong, poster-like silhouettes (notably in rounded letters like C, G, O, Q) where hairline joins and internal apertures become small at typical sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized rhythm, with curvy forms and tight counters that reinforce the display character.
