A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered, flared stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation with a strong forward slant, giving the texture a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs are compact and sharp rather than heavy, and many joins resolve into pointed, calligraphic-looking tips. Counters are relatively open, while curves and diagonals feel slightly tensioned, producing a refined, energetic silhouette.
It performs best in display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where its sharp modulation and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or titling in high-end packaging and event materials, especially where a luxurious, editorial voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic serif formality with a distinctly fashion-forward snap. Its sharp terminals and steep contrast read as premium and attention-grabbing, suited to expressive, confident headlines.
The design appears intended to translate a calligraphic, flared-pen sensibility into a crisp, modern display serif—prioritizing contrast, motion, and distinctive terminals to create a memorable, premium typographic color.
In the sample text, the italic angle and contrast create strong word shapes and an elegant flow, while the more angular terminals add bite and immediacy. Numerals and capitals carry a similarly sculpted, display-oriented presence, with pointed details that become especially noticeable at larger sizes.
