A high-contrast italic serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a pronounced diagonal stress and energetic slant, with thick, tapering main strokes and hairline connections that create crisp, bright counters. Serifs read as flared and slightly calligraphic rather than flat, giving stems a chiseled, carved-in look. Proportions are moderately condensed in places with lively width variation across characters; curves are taut and pointed, and joins often resolve into sharp beaks and angled cuts. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and italic rhythm, with distinctive tapered entries and exits.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and sharp flared endings can stay clean and legible—editorial headlines, magazine titling, cultural posters, book covers, and fashion or arts branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when you want strong emphasis and a refined, high-drama texture.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, balancing classical formality with a punchy, modern edge. Its sharp terminals and strong italic motion convey speed, emphasis, and confidence, making text feel intentional and expressive rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and italic motion, using flared terminals and pointed detailing to add impact. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and a carved, calligraphic finish for attention-grabbing typography in high-end or editorial contexts.
In running text the strong contrast and narrow hairlines create a sparkling texture, while the aggressive terminals add a slightly gothic, poster-like bite. The slanted forms and pointed details are especially prominent in diagonals and curved letters, reinforcing a consistent, calligraphy-informed rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
