A slanted serif with a sculpted, calligraphic construction and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes feel carved and tapered rather than mechanically drawn, with angular cuts and pointed joins creating a faceted silhouette across both capitals and lowercase. Counters are compact and openings can be tight, producing dense, high-impact word shapes; diagonals and curves show lively modulation without strong hairline-to-stem extremes. Serifs behave more like angled spurs than bracketed book serifs, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with slight irregularity that reads as intentional refinement rather than roughness.
Best used for display typography such as magazine headlines, brand marks, campaign titles, invitations, and packaging where its sharp terminal work can be appreciated. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes, but larger sizes and generous tracking will help preserve clarity and keep the dense shapes from closing in.
The tone is elegant but assertive—more runway and magazine than traditional literature. Its sharp terminals and forward-leaning motion give it a dramatic, stylized personality that feels luxe, modern, and slightly theatrical. The letterforms suggest sophistication with a hint of edge, suited to branding that wants to look curated and distinctive.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif cues with a fashion-forward, sculpted italic attitude—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes, crisp terminals, and expressive rhythm over neutral readability. It aims to deliver a premium, editorial look with a memorable, decorative edge.
At text sizes the tight apertures and pointed internal shapes can create dark spots, while at display sizes the chiseled details and spurred serifs become the main character. Numerals match the expressive, cut-terminal language, keeping the set visually cohesive.
