This typeface is a sharply slanted serif with sculpted, calligraphic construction and flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thin hairlines and fuller main stems, plus frequent tapered joins that create crisp, blade-shaped counters and cut-in notches. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with energetic diagonals, and many glyphs feature pointed serifs and angled entry/exit strokes that emphasize speed and direction. Round letters (like O/C) appear slightly compressed and vertically biased, while the overall texture reads as rhythmic and faceted rather than smooth.
Best suited for headlines, magazine-style typography, and branding where a distinctive italic serif voice is desired. It can work well for fashion and lifestyle packaging, event posters, and short pull quotes where the sharp terminals and dynamic rhythm can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is elegant and high-drama, combining editorial polish with a slightly theatrical, couture sensibility. Its sharp terminals and assertive italic flow convey motion and confidence, giving text a stylish, attention-grabbing presence that feels suited to luxury or art-forward contexts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an italic serif through a more decorative, cut-and-carved shape language—pairing classic serif cues with sharper, more graphic terminals to create a memorable display texture.
At display sizes the distinctive wedge terminals and cut-in shapes become a defining signature, creating strong word silhouettes. In longer lines the slant and sharp internal cuts produce a lively, sparkling texture that favors emphasis and character over quiet neutrality.
