A highly angled italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, sweeping entry and exit strokes. Stems taper and flare into pointed, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs, giving many letters a cut, blade-like finish. Curves are taut and sculpted, with narrow internal apertures and a lively, right-leaning rhythm; crossbars and joins feel calligraphically driven, and several forms show teardrop-like stress and sharp, triangular spur details. Numerals and capitals carry the same dramatic contrast and slanted posture, producing a consistent, display-forward texture.
Best suited to large sizes where the contrast, sharp terminals, and flared details can be appreciated—such as magazine covers, fashion/editorial headlines, poster titles, branding marks, and premium packaging. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but is less appropriate for dense body text due to its intense slant and narrow internal spaces.
The overall tone is glamorous and high-drama, evoking couture headlines and theatrical title work. Its sharp flares and sweeping italics read as confident and expressive, with a distinctly editorial, high-end sensibility.
Designed to deliver a dramatic, calligraphy-inflected italic voice that feels luxurious and contemporary while nodding to classic high-contrast serif display traditions. The flared, tapered terminals and sculpted curves appear intended to maximize impact and elegance in headline settings.
The strong slant and tight counters make the texture energetic and attention-seeking, especially in longer lines. The distinctive wedge terminals and flared stroke endings are a defining motif across upper- and lowercase, reinforcing a cohesive, stylized voice.
