A high-contrast italic serif with strongly tapered, flared stroke endings and crisp wedge-like terminals. The letterforms have a generous, open stance and pronounced rightward slant, with thick main strokes and hairline connections that create a lively, sparkling texture. Serifs and terminals feel carved and blade-like rather than flat, and curves show a dynamic swelling-and-thinning rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with pointed entry/exit strokes and a display-forward presence.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture editorial, posters, and brand marks where strong contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also work for short, impactful subheads or pull quotes, especially when paired with a quieter text face.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, combining classic serif formality with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and energetic slant read as confident and expressive, lending a sense of luxury and drama. The texture feels intentionally attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, high-end italic voice by blending classical serif structure with flared, sharpened terminals and pronounced contrast. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and silhouette for standout typographic moments.
The design favors sculptural silhouettes and striking negative spaces, with prominent diagonals and tapering that become most noticeable at larger sizes. Round letters maintain strong contrast and crisp internal counters, while many strokes resolve into pointed, calligraphic-like tips that heighten the sense of motion.
