A high-contrast, right-slanted serif with flared stroke endings and crisp, tapered terminals. Thick verticals and hairline joins create a sharp black–white rhythm, while the letterforms stay relatively broad with generous interior counters in rounds like O and Q. Serifs read as wedge-like and slightly bracketed, and many lowercase forms show calligraphic shaping with angled entry/exit strokes; the f has a notably tall, descending curve. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with pointed joints and compact bowls that keep the set cohesive in display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, deck text, pull quotes, and branding where the dramatic contrast and sculpted italics can be appreciated. It can work for short-to-medium editorial passages at comfortable sizes, but it will be most effective when used as a display face for fashion, beauty, culture, or premium product packaging.
The overall tone is theatrical and refined, combining luxury-magazine polish with a slightly mischievous, swashy energy. Its strong contrast and forward motion feel confident and attention-seeking, suited to designs that want elegance with bite rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears aimed at a modern, high-impact display serif that borrows from calligraphic italics and Didone-like contrast, then amplifies it with flared endings and swashy details. The intention seems to be delivering a distinctive, elegant voice for titles and identities while maintaining enough structure for occasional text use.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and several glyphs (notably J, Q, f, g, and y) lean into sculptural curves that become prominent in larger settings. In paragraphs, the heavy thick strokes create strong texture, so spacing and size will materially affect readability and perceived darkness.
