A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, wedge-like serifs. Strokes taper into needle points and flared terminals, creating a rhythmic, calligraphic flow across words. The letterforms show compact internal counters and energetic joins, with a distinctly angled stress and a lively baseline feel. Numerals and capitals carry the same chiseled contrast and sweeping curves, yielding a cohesive, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and slant can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for premium packaging and event or cultural posters that benefit from a dramatic, editorial voice.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic serif formality with a fashion-like sense of motion. Its sharp tapers and sweeping curves read as confident and high-end, with a slightly provocative, headline-driven intensity.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact italic serif for display typography, blending traditional serif structure with a more calligraphic, razor-edged finish to create visual drama and a sense of luxury.
Diagonal strokes are emphasized and often finish in fine points, producing a crisp sparkle at edges and intersections. The italics are assertive rather than subtle, and the dense contrast can visually darken in longer passages, especially at smaller sizes.
