A condensed, sharply slanted serif with pronounced contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved, inked feeling. The forms are narrow with tight internal counters and a forward-leaning rhythm, while hairlines stay crisp against heavy verticals and diagonals. Serifs read more as tapered spikes and swelling ends than bracketed feet, and curves are slightly sheared to reinforce speed and tension. Lowercase shows compact proportions with a modest x-height and energetic ascenders/descenders that keep lines lively in text.
Best suited to display applications where its narrow width and sharp contrast can amplify impact—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, where the strong slant and flared endings add motion without needing extra ornament.
The overall tone is bold and performative—more like a headline voice than a quiet text face. Its angled, high-contrast construction evokes vintage editorial typography and poster lettering, suggesting urgency, drama, and a touch of classic sophistication.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, attention-grabbing serif with a calligraphic, flared-stroke signature—prioritizing character and momentum in display typography while keeping shapes coherent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Letterforms maintain a consistent rightward torque, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that create a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, contrasty logic, making them feel integrated and display-oriented rather than purely utilitarian.
