A high-contrast, right-leaning serif with sculpted, flared terminals and sharply tapered joins. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction: thick main strokes transition quickly into hairline connections, with pointed entry/exit strokes and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than purely linear. Curves are generous and slightly compressed at apertures, while diagonals and arms end in crisp, blade-like tips. The overall texture is dark and rhythmic, with lively stroke modulation and a distinctly display-oriented presence.
Best suited to display settings where the contrast and hairlines can breathe—magazine titles, fashion and culture editorial, posters, and premium brand marks. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the delicate thin strokes suggest avoiding very small text or low-resolution reproduction.
The font projects a polished, fashion-forward tone with a dramatic, upscale edge. Its energetic italic flow and sharp hairlines lend it a sense of motion and sophistication, reminiscent of editorial headlines and luxury branding. The crisp terminals and high-contrast modeling create a confident, theatrical voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears aimed at delivering a refined, high-impact italic serif for contemporary display typography, combining classic calligraphic modulation with sharp, modern detailing. The flared endings and sculpted stroke transitions emphasize elegance and movement while maintaining a strong, dark silhouette for headline clarity.
Uppercase forms appear compact and punchy, while the lowercase introduces more swash-like movement in letters such as a, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, reading as stylish rather than utilitarian, with several figures featuring angled cuts and pointed terminals that reinforce the italic momentum.
