An italic serif with compact proportions and emphatic, wedge-like terminals that often read as cut-ins or stenciled notches. Strokes are heavy and sculpted, with pointed joins and tapered entry/exit shapes that create strong directional rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and the internal shaping is angular in places, producing a crisp, carved silhouette. Numerals and capitals keep the same chiseled, high-impact construction, maintaining a consistent slanted, display-oriented texture across lines.
Best suited for magazine and editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, film or event titling, and high-impact posters where a distinctive italic serif voice is desired. It can work well for short subheads, pull quotes, and packaging wordmarks when set with comfortable spacing. For long passages or small sizes, the tight counters and aggressive terminals may feel busy, so it will typically perform better in display contexts.
This typeface projects a dramatic, high-fashion energy with a distinctly editorial feel. Its sharp, slicing details and forward-leaning posture give it a sense of speed and assertiveness, leaning more provocative than traditional. The overall tone is elegant but intentionally edgy, suited to statements rather than neutral reading.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an italic serif for display use by exaggerating sharp terminals and creating a distinctive cut-away, blade-like finish on many strokes. The goal seems to be high impact and recognizability in short settings while retaining a recognizable serif structure. Its strong slant and compact forms suggest it is optimized to create energetic, stylish word shapes in headlines and logos.
The letterforms repeatedly use deep triangular cuts and pointed terminals, creating a recognizable ‘sliced’ motif across both uppercase and lowercase. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, producing a strong forward motion and a lively, high-contrast texture at display sizes.
