A slanted display serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. The main strokes are rendered as bold black shapes that are sliced by a consistent inner contour, creating a carved, inline effect that reads like a highlight. Counters are often small and teardrop-like, and joins can become wedge-shaped, giving many letters a faceted, cut-paper feel. Proportions run on the wider side with lively, uneven stroke distribution, producing an intentionally irregular rhythm that favors impact over uniform text texture.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and logotypes where the inline carving can be appreciated at generous sizes. It also fits packaging and cover work that benefits from a decorative, high-contrast italic voice, while extended body copy will tend to feel busy due to the strong internal striping and sharp contrast.
The overall tone is luxe and stagey, channeling vintage signage and high-style editorial typography. The dramatic contrast and glossy inline “shine” suggest glamour, nightlife, and a slightly mischievous, cinematic attitude.
The design appears intended as a statement italic that blends didone-like contrast with a stylized carved highlight, aiming for a polished, marquee-ready look. Its sculptural forms prioritize personality and visual sparkle, making it a natural choice for attention-grabbing display settings.
In longer settings the alternating solid masses and inner cut lines create a strong flicker, especially around diagonals and tight counters. Numerals and capitals feel particularly ornamental, with several glyphs emphasizing angular slashes and asymmetric weight that read well at larger sizes.
