A high-contrast italic serif with strongly calligraphic construction: thick, brush-like main strokes taper into sharp, flared wedge terminals and pointed serifs. Curves are taut and slightly pinched, with energetic entry/exit strokes that create a forward, sweeping rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in the heavier letters, while capitals maintain broad, classical proportions with pronounced diagonals and crisp junctions. Numerals follow the same chiseled contrast and italic momentum, reading as display-oriented with distinctive shapes rather than purely neutral forms.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, book jackets, and branding where its sharp contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can work for short blocks of text at generous sizes and spacing, but its strongest impact is in titles and emphasis where the flared terminals and sculpted forms can carry the visual voice.
The font projects a bold, theatrical elegance—poised between classic bookish refinement and modern, fashion-forward intensity. Its slanted, high-contrast strokes and knife-like terminals add urgency and sophistication, making text feel prestigious, dramatic, and intentionally styled.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-impact italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared wedge endings, combining classical proportions with a more expressive, calligraphic edge for attention-grabbing typography.
The texture in setting is lively and contrasty, with noticeable stroke modulation that creates a sparkling, high-end look at larger sizes. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the flared terminals give many letters a sculpted, chiselled finish that stands out in headlines.
