A slanted, high-contrast serif with strongly calligraphic modulation: thick vertical-ish strokes pair with hairline joins and pointed terminals. Serifs read as sharp wedges and small brackets that flare out from stems rather than sitting as flat slabs, giving the contours a crisp, carved feel. Uppercase forms are slightly condensed and taut, while the lowercase shows lively, italic construction with single‑storey shapes and sweeping entry/exit strokes; counters are compact and the rhythm is energetic. Numerals follow the same sharp, tapered logic, with angular joins and pronounced contrast that keeps them punchy at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, book covers, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can add a refined, fashion-forward voice to packaging and promotional materials, especially in short bursts of text rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, blending old-style elegance with a punchy, contemporary edge. Its slant and razor-like hairlines create motion and urgency, while the wedge serifs and classical proportions suggest tradition and authority.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a dramatic, editorial italic voice with a refined, classical serif vocabulary and flared stroke endings. Emphasis is placed on contrast, motion, and sharp detailing to create high-impact typography for attention-grabbing settings.
The design relies on fine hairlines and tight internal spaces, so it reads most confidently when given room and size. The italic gesture is consistent across cases, creating a cohesive, forward-leaning texture that feels intentional rather than incidental.
