A sharply sheared serif with strong thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring stroke endings that read as soft bracketed serifs rather than blunt slabs. Forms are compact in the curves but expansive in the horizontals, with crisp terminals and pointed joins that give counters a slightly teardrop quality in places. The rhythm is lively and angular for a serif, with a pronounced italic slant, narrow apertures, and emphatic diagonals; lowercase shows a single‑storey a and g with assertive entry/exit strokes. Numerals share the same high-contrast, sculpted feel, with distinctive angled terminals and a slightly calligraphic stress.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and slant can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, brand marks and wordmarks, premium packaging, and poster titling. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck copy, where its energetic rhythm adds emphasis without relying on ornament.
The font projects a confident, high-fashion tone—dramatic and refined, with a sense of movement and flourish. Its contrast and sharp finishing details feel premium and attention-grabbing, leaning toward classic editorial elegance rather than understated text neutrality.
The design appears aimed at combining a traditional serif skeleton with a more calligraphic, flared finishing style to create an italic display voice that feels both classic and contemporary. The goal seems to be impactful readability at larger sizes, with sculpted stroke endings and high contrast used to signal sophistication and dynamism.
In longer lines the dense texture and pronounced slant create a strong typographic color, while the tapered serifs and sharp terminals keep edges crisp at display sizes. The overall stress and stroke modulation feel consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting cohesive titling and emphasis.
