A slanted serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that give the letters a carved, sculptural profile. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with wedge-like terminals and a consistent rightward italic rhythm. Counters are relatively compact, curves are smoothly tensioned, and joints often narrow into pointed connections, producing crisp silhouettes in both uppercase and lowercase. The figures follow the same calligraphic contrast, with lively diagonals and distinctive, angled terminals that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but will be most effective when given enough size and spacing to preserve its fine hairlines and pointed terminals.
The overall tone feels elegant and assertive, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast suggest luxury and sophistication, while the italic motion adds energy and a sense of forward momentum.
Likely intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on an italic serif with calligraphic influence—prioritizing dramatic contrast, crisp terminals, and a polished editorial voice for high-impact titles and brand statements.
Uppercase forms read formal and statuesque, while the lowercase introduces more fluidity through tapered joins and brisk entry/exit strokes. The texture in paragraph settings is dark and stylish, with strong stroke contrast creating a prominent vertical rhythm and noticeable sparkle in the whites at larger sizes.
