A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sculpted, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic logic: heavy main stems and swelling curves paired with hairline connections and pointed joins. Serifs are sharply cut and often flared, with bracketed transitions that give stems a chiselled, tapered finish rather than blunt slabs. The overall color is dark and emphatic, while letterforms remain relatively open; round shapes are slightly condensed and drawn with strong tension, and diagonals feel crisp and angular.
It performs best in headlines, magazine features, and brand statements where contrast and slanted motion can be appreciated at larger sizes. It’s also well suited to packaging and display typography that needs a refined but dramatic voice, while longer passages may require generous leading due to the strong contrast and energetic detailing.
The font reads as assertive and editorial, combining a traditional serif foundation with a theatrical, fashion-forward edge. Its high-contrast slant and sharp terminals create a sense of momentum and sophistication, making text feel energetic, premium, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact interpretation of an italic serif: sharp, flared finishing and strong contrast provide elegance, while the weight and dynamic slant ensure standout display performance.
Uppercase forms project a sturdy, poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps a lively rhythm with pronounced entry/exit strokes and pointed details. Numerals match the same calligraphic contrast and sharp finishing, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay coherent.
