A slanted, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and strongly tapered strokes. Thick verticals and thin hairlines create a crisp rhythm, while bracketing and slight wedge-like shaping give the serifs a carved, energetic feel rather than a purely mechanical finish. Curves are generous and smooth (notably in C, O, S), and many joins resolve into pointed, ink-trap-like corners that emphasize the diagonal stress. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, compact bowls, and lively entry/exit strokes, producing an overall texture that is dense yet refined at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also works well for fashion and cultural branding, event posters, and book or album covers that benefit from a luxurious, high-impact serif voice.
The font projects a confident, dramatic elegance with a distinctly editorial voice. Its sweeping italic motion and sharp, glossy highlights suggest sophistication and theatrical flair, balancing classic serif tradition with a more expressive, fashion-forward attitude.
The design appears intended as a display italic that foregrounds contrast, motion, and flared serif detailing to create a memorable, premium texture. Its proportions and stroke finishing prioritize expressive presence and refined drama over quiet, long-form neutrality.
Letterforms exhibit pronounced stroke modulation and narrow hairlines that become visually delicate in small sizes, especially where thin diagonals and interior counters converge. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with curvy forms (notably 2, 3, 8, 9) leaning into a stylish, headline-oriented presence.
