A sharply slanted serif with striking thick–thin modulation and tightly packed proportions. Strokes taper into knife-like terminals and small wedge serifs, with occasional ball-like endings and curled entry/exit strokes that give the contours a carved, calligraphic feel. The letters are tall and vertical in rhythm but consistently inclined, creating a fast, forward motion; bowls and counters stay relatively compact, and some joins show deliberate angularity rather than smooth roundness. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-drama construction with pronounced contrast and pointed terminals.
Best suited to headlines, display lines, and short editorial passages where its contrast and slant can set a distinct voice. It can work well for fashion or entertainment branding, poster titling, packaging names, and pull quotes, particularly when ample size and breathing room are available.
The overall tone is assertive and stylish, leaning toward couture and classic headline typography rather than quiet reading. Its exaggerated contrast and crisp terminals feel dramatic and slightly retro, with a showcard flair that reads as confident and performative.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that blends italic calligraphic energy with decorative, sharpened serif detailing. It prioritizes personality and motion over neutrality, aiming to deliver a refined but attention-grabbing typographic signature.
In text, the strong diagonal stress and tight spacing can create a textured, stripe-like rhythm, especially in long runs. The design’s character comes through most clearly at larger sizes where the tapered serifs, curls, and sharp transitions remain distinct.
