This typeface is a steeply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. The serifs read as small, flared wedges that merge smoothly into the strokes rather than sitting as flat slabs, reinforcing a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are taut and high-tension, with narrow apertures and compact internal spaces in letters like a, e, and s, while capitals show sculpted bowls and brisk entry/exit strokes. Overall spacing looks relatively tight and energetic, and the figures follow the same angled, high-contrast construction for a cohesive texture in text.
It performs best in display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where the contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or packaging copy when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The font projects an editorial, high-style tone—dramatic and refined, with a sense of speed from the strong italic angle. Its crisp joins and knife-like terminals give it a confident, upscale voice that feels suited to fashion, culture, and headline-driven design.
The design appears intended to deliver a fashionable, high-contrast italic voice that blends classical serif structure with flared, calligraphy-like finishing. It emphasizes impact and sophistication through sharp terminals, sculpted curves, and a tightly controlled rhythm.
In continuous text the contrast creates a lively rhythm, with prominent vertical emphasis and delicate hairlines that add sparkle at larger sizes. The combination of flared serifs and tapered endings produces a slightly aggressive elegance, especially in capitals and numerals.
