A sharply angled serif with a pronounced italic slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes feel carved and calligraphic, with wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden into triangular/bracketed serif shapes rather than flat slabs. The letterforms show lively, variable rhythm: narrow joins and hairline connections contrast with dense verticals, while curves are taut and slightly compressed. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and endings often taper into sharp points, giving the overall texture a crisp, high-impact sparkle in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and slant can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, brand wordmarks, and premium packaging. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the intense contrast and sharp terminals suggest avoiding long body copy at small sizes.
The face projects a dramatic, high-style tone—confident, expressive, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp terminals and sweeping italic motion evoke classic editorial typography with a modern, attention-grabbing edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact italic serif for display typography, combining calligraphic motion with sculpted, flared serifs to create a luxurious and attention-forward texture.
Capitals read stately and sculptural, while the lowercase leans more fluid and calligraphy-driven, creating an energetic contrast within mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same steep contrast and pointed finishing, making them feel display-oriented rather than purely utilitarian.
