A tightly set, steeply slanted serif display with striking thick–thin modulation and sculpted, wedge-like terminals. Strokes taper to fine hairlines while heavy verticals and diagonals carry most of the color, producing a strongly striped rhythm in text. Serifs and stroke endings feel carved and flared rather than purely bracketed, with many terminals resolving into sharp points or small beaks. Curves are compact and tense, and several letters show exaggerated entry/exit strokes that read as restrained swashes, contributing to an energetic, forward-driving texture.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and flared terminals can read crisply. It can add a luxe edge to branding, packaging, and promotional graphics, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body text. For extended passages, larger sizes and generous leading help preserve clarity and avoid overly dark, stripy texture.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a polished, high-fashion attitude. Its sharp contrast and aggressive italic slant suggest speed, confidence, and a slightly decadent, poster-like glamour. The flavor leans more editorial and dramatic than conversational or neutral.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact through extreme contrast, a forceful italic angle, and sculpted serif/terminal shapes that feel cut and stylized. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and fashion-oriented drama over quiet neutrality, offering a distinctive voice for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms are particularly assertive and condensed in feel, while lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement and occasional flamboyant details that enliven word shapes. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, maintaining a cohesive, display-forward voice across letters and figures. In longer lines the texture becomes highly rhythmic, so spacing and leading will strongly influence readability.
