A bold, right-leaning serif with very high contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins. Strokes show a calligraphic, chisel-like construction: many terminals taper sharply into fine points, and serifs often feel integrated as flared, triangular endings rather than flat slabs. The letterforms are wide and energetic, with pronounced shearing, sculpted curves, and occasional swooping tails (notably on forms like Q and y). Counters are relatively open, and the numerals share the same high-contrast, italicized rhythm, producing a crisp, sharply cut silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, packaging, and punchy poster titles where high contrast and italic motion can carry the composition. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes, but its sharp hairlines and animated forms are most effective when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is theatrical and high-style, projecting confidence and luxury through sharp contrast and sweeping italic motion. It reads as assertive and elegant rather than quiet or utilitarian, with a fashion-forward, headline-centric personality.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic serif for statement-making display use, combining classical serif cues with more exaggerated, flared terminals and swash-like gestures to maximize drama and visual impact.
In text settings, the strong slant and extreme contrast create a lively texture with noticeable diagonal flow and sparkling hairlines. The sharp terminals and flared endings add bite and sophistication, but also make the design feel intentionally attention-grabbing.
