This typeface combines a steep rightward slant with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring stroke endings. Letterforms are built on compact, sharply tapered wedges and curved entry/exit strokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm rather than a purely mechanical italic. Serifs and terminals feel integrated into the stroke flow, with pointed, blade-like finishes and occasional teardrop-like connections in bowls and joins. Counters tend to be tight and dynamic, and overall spacing reads as intentionally varied to enhance motion and contrast in text.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and italic momentum can do the styling work. It fits editorial design, fashion or cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a luxe, high-impact voice. For longer reading, it will perform most comfortably when given generous size and spacing to preserve clarity around its sharp terminals and tight counters.
The overall tone is dramatic and stylish, leaning toward a classic, fashion-forward elegance. It feels assertive and theatrical, with a refined sharpness that suits high-impact typography more than quiet neutrality. The slanted, high-contrast forms suggest sophistication with a slightly flamboyant, display-oriented edge.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast italic with conspicuous, flared finishes and a distinctly calligraphic motion. Its shapes prioritize character and visual drama, aiming to produce memorable wordmarks and expressive display typography while retaining a recognizable serif structure.
In the sample text, the strong diagonal stress and flared terminals create striking word shapes and distinctive silhouettes, especially in capitals and rounded letters. Numerals follow the same sharp, high-contrast logic, giving them a tailored, editorial feel. The design’s crisp points and energetic stroke endings become more prominent as size increases, where the detailing reads most clearly.
