A highly contrasted italic serif with broad, weighty main strokes and sharply tapered hairlines. The letterforms are wide and assertive, with a right-leaning posture, wedge-like entry and exit strokes, and crisp, pointed serifs that read as calligraphic rather than mechanical. Counters are relatively compact within the heavy shapes, while terminals and joins show deliberate thinning that creates a lively, shimmering rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same sculpted contrast and italic momentum, giving the overall texture a bold, display-driven presence.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine spreads, posters, and branding marks where its contrast and italic sweep can be appreciated. It can also work well on premium packaging and promotional materials, especially when ample space allows the wide forms and sharp detailing to breathe.
The font conveys drama and polish—more couture editorial than everyday text. Its strong diagonal energy and razor-thin accents feel theatrical and confident, with a slightly vintage, showcard-like flair that adds sophistication without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through high contrast, wide proportions, and a stylish italic cadence. It prioritizes expressive, attention-grabbing word shapes and a refined, fashion-oriented tone over neutral, text-first restraint.
Stroke contrast is used as a primary design feature, so fine hairlines and sharp points become prominent at larger sizes. The wide set and strong italic angle create a fast horizontal flow, while the swashy terminals in several lowercase forms add personality and a hint of flamboyance.
