This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with thick, swelling main strokes and hairline connections that create a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Stems and arms often expand into tapered, flared terminals, producing pointed wedge-like endings rather than blunt cuts. The letterforms show pronounced diagonal stress, crisp joins, and frequent sharp internal angles, giving counters a faceted feel. Spacing reads open for a display serif, with energetic silhouettes and pronounced stroke modulation that emphasizes the diagonal movement across words.
This font is best suited to large sizes where its hairlines, flare, and internal angles can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion spreads, posters, and high-impact branding. It can work for short pull quotes or display subheads, especially when ample leading and careful tracking are used to maintain clarity. It’s less suited to dense small-size copy, where the thin strokes and sharp details may compete with readability.
The overall tone is dramatic and elegant, with a fashion and magazine sensibility. Its sharp flare and strong contrast project confidence and luxury, while the italic slant adds speed and theatricality. The result feels refined but assertive—more runway and headline than quiet book typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical high-contrast serif construction through a sharper, more angular, flared terminal language. It prioritizes expressive silhouettes and typographic drama, aiming to deliver a contemporary luxury feel while retaining the familiarity of serif display forms.
Uppercase forms appear especially sculptural, with assertive wedge serifs and strong diagonal cuts that create lively word shapes. The figures match the same contrast and flare, with angled entry/exit strokes that keep the numeric set visually consistent with the letters. In text, the sharp modulation and hairlines create sparkle, but the design’s intensity makes it visually dominant.
