A high-contrast serif with an overall reverse-italic inclination and distinctly flared terminals that widen into the stroke endings. The rhythm is lively and slightly springy, with crisp entry/exit strokes, sharp apexes, and wedge-like, bracketed details that feel calligraphically informed. Counters are relatively open for the width, while curves show pronounced thick-to-thin transitions; diagonals and bowls carry a consistent, sculpted stress that gives the face a polished, display-leaning texture. Numerals and capitals retain the same dramatic contrast and tapering, with a notably expressive ‘Q’ tail and pointed joins throughout.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, magazine titling, book covers, and campaign typography where its high contrast and reverse-italic energy can be appreciated. It can work for short-form editorial subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and air, and it pairs well with calmer text faces as an expressive counterpart.
The tone is refined and theatrical, combining classical bookish manners with a fashion-editorial edge. Its reverse slant and flared finishing strokes add a sense of motion and personality, making text feel more expressive than strictly formal. Overall it reads as confident, cultured, and slightly unconventional rather than neutral.
Likely designed to reinterpret a classical serif through a more expressive, flared and reverse-inclined lens, emphasizing sharp contrast and energetic word shapes. The design prioritizes distinctive texture and personality for attention-grabbing typography while maintaining a recognizably traditional serif foundation.
The strongest visual signatures are the exaggerated tapering into hairlines, the flare at stroke ends, and the consistent reverse-lean across both upper- and lowercase. At larger sizes the sharp terminals and contrast create striking word shapes; at smaller sizes those same details will dominate the texture and may call for careful spacing and leading.
