A sharply slanted serif with sweeping, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes end in tapered, flared terminals and small bracketed serifs, giving many letters a carved, blade-like finish. Curves are broad and weighty while joins snap into fine hairlines, creating a lively rhythm across words. Uppercase forms feel wide and commanding, while the lowercase shows energetic, slightly condensed movement with a single-storey a and g, and teardrop-style i/j dots. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with strong diagonals and tapered entries/exits.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine mastheads, fashion and culture headlines, poster typography, and premium branding or packaging where a dramatic serif voice is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or titles, but the sharp contrast and expressive terminals make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is confident and formal, with a sense of vintage glamour and editorial drama. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals suggest speed and flourish, while the heavy main strokes keep it authoritative and headline-forward.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with calligraphic italic energy, prioritizing impact, elegance, and motion. Its flared terminals and razor-thin transitions aim to create a luxurious, attention-grabbing texture for prominent typographic moments.
In text samples the texture reads bold and glossy, with strong internal contrast that produces sparkling highlights along curves and diagonals. The italic angle and flared endings make spacing feel active; it rewards generous tracking and larger sizes where the hairlines and terminals can breathe.
