A sharply angled italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic axis with brisk entry/exit strokes, compact joins, and crisp, pointed serifs that often resolve into wedges rather than flat feet. Uppercase forms are slightly condensed with energetic diagonals, while the lowercase features lively bowls and a rhythmic forward slant; the italic ‘a’ is single-storey and the ‘g’ is looped with an expressive ear. Numerals echo the same high-contrast, cut-in shapes and angled stress, giving the set a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
This style is best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also suits branding applications such as logotypes, product names, event titles, and packaging where a refined yet dramatic serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-drama, with an editorial polish that feels suited to fashion, culture, and premium branding. Its sharp serifs and assertive contrast create a sense of authority and theatricality, while the strong italic movement adds speed and flair.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a high-fashion, print-editorial impression by combining strong italic motion with sculpted, flaring serif endings and very crisp contrast. The emphasis is on expressive silhouette and premium tone rather than neutral, long-form readability.
The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp interior apertures, so spacing and sizes that preserve detail will matter for clarity. In continuous text it produces a distinctive, sparkling rhythm, with the italic angle and spiky terminals contributing to a bold, attention-grabbing voice.
