A slanted serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty, teardrop-like terminals that create a distinctly sculpted, flared feel. The letterforms show strong diagonal stress and crisp, wedge-shaped serifs that often resolve into pointed beaks and small hooks, giving strokes a carved, ink-trap-like bite at joins. Curves are tight and energetic, with narrow apertures and compact counters that heighten the dark, glossy texture in text. Capitals are wide and commanding, while lowercase forms keep a lively rhythm through pronounced entry/exit strokes and tapered ends.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, fashion campaigns, packaging, and brand marks where its sculpted contrast and italic energy can read cleanly. It can also work for short, high-impact editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially when generous size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is high-drama and refined, combining a classic editorial polish with a fashion and luxury sensibility. Its sharp terminals and sweeping italic motion feel assertive and theatrical, lending a sense of speed, confidence, and prestige.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a calligraphic, high-contrast italic for premium display typography. Its flared terminals and sharply tapered details emphasize elegance and motion, aiming for maximum visual impact in large-scale settings.
The numerals mirror the same calligraphic contrast and angled stance, with pointed joins and tapered feet that read best at display sizes. In continuous text, the dense color and tight interior spaces make it feel punchy and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or neutral.
