This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and sharp, wedge-like serif forms. Thick verticals and thin hairlines create a strong black-and-white rhythm, while many joins and endings taper to pointed tips. Letterforms show a lively, calligraphic construction with subtle angularity, especially in diagonals and curves, giving the alphabet an animated, slightly swashy texture. Numerals match the same dramatic contrast and tapering, with curving strokes and crisp, blade-like finishes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and other editorial moments where contrast and character are assets. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and event posters that benefit from a dramatic, fashion-forward serif voice; for longer passages it will typically be more effective in short bursts than extended text.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, combining fashion-style elegance with a slightly vintage, poster-like attitude. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals give it a sense of motion and confidence, making the voice feel assertive and stylized rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking display serif that merges high-contrast, fashion-oriented letterforms with flared, tapered terminals for added edge and motion. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a dynamic reading rhythm over neutral text economy.
Spacing and width feel uneven by design, producing a lively, irregular cadence across words. The flared endings are a key identity feature, often replacing conventional bracketed serifs with tapered, triangular finishes that sharpen the silhouette at display sizes.
