A high-contrast, right-leaning serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and sharp wedge-like serifs. Thick verticals dominate while hairlines taper to fine points, producing a strong light–dark rhythm and a distinctly engraved, calligraphic feel. Proportions are compact with tight internal counters and a relatively contained x-height, while curves and joins show deliberate swelling and tapering that emphasizes movement. The overall color is dense and glossy, with brisk, angular finishing on many forms that keeps the texture crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and brand expressions where a refined, high-impact serif is needed. It works especially well for fashion, beauty, arts, and luxury packaging, as well as posters and title treatments where its sharp contrast and flared terminals can read as intentional detail rather than noise.
The font projects a fashion-forward, editorial tone—confident, dramatic, and polished. Its sharp contrast and flared endings evoke luxury print, classic titling traditions, and a slightly theatrical sophistication. The italic slant adds momentum and elegance, giving text a dynamic, headline-driven presence.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that merges traditional calligraphic modulation with crisp, contemporary finishing. Its narrow, italicized stance and flared terminals aim to deliver editorial sophistication and strong hierarchy in display typography.
In longer settings the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle, while the narrow stance keeps lines compact and vertical. Numerals and capitals carry the same sculpted, tapering logic, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented personality.
