A high-contrast serif with a reverse-leaning slant and pronounced stroke modulation. Stems and main strokes widen into subtly flared, wedge-like terminals rather than ending in blunt slabs, giving many letters a sculpted, calligraphic finish. Curves are taut and elliptical, with hairline connections and sharp, tapered joins; round forms (O, C, Q) show crisp transitions from thick to thin. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places with lively, uneven stroke presence across the set, and the overall rhythm is energetic due to the backward slant and alternating thick/thin emphasis.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, cultural posters, and brand marks where contrast and stylized terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short to medium text in spacious layouts, but the fine hairlines and animated slant favor larger sizes and high-quality reproduction.
The font reads as refined and theatrical, balancing elegance with a slightly rebellious, fashion-forward attitude created by the reverse slant. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings add a sense of luxury and drama, making text feel curated and high-style rather than utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering an elegant, high-contrast serif voice with a distinctive reverse-italic energy and flared, calligraphy-derived endings. It prioritizes visual character and editorial drama over neutrality, creating a signature look for premium, style-led typography.
Uppercase forms carry strong verticality and sharp apexes, while lowercase includes more fluid, looped shapes and occasional swashy gestures (notably in letters like g, y, and the ampersand). Numerals follow the same contrast and flared terminal logic, with several figures showing distinctive, calligraphic curvature and pointed finishing strokes.
