A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a sculpted, calligraphic construction. Stems and joins taper and flare into wedge-like, bracketed endings rather than flat slabs, giving terminals a carved, chiselled feel. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is dynamic, with energetic diagonals, pointed beaks, and teardrop-like finishing strokes that add movement. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase shows a lively italic flow with strong entry/exit strokes and clear, angular stress.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can work for short passages in editorial layouts when set with ample size and spacing, but it is most effective when used as an accent typeface.
The font projects a high-end, dramatic tone associated with fashion and editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and flowing italic energy create a sense of sophistication and flair, with an assertive, attention-grabbing presence best suited to expressive settings rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, fashion-oriented italic with a sculptural serif treatment and strong calligraphic stress. Its flared, tapered endings and dramatic modulation prioritize character and visual impact, aiming for a refined, premium voice in display typography.
The numerals and caps share the same sharp contrast and angled stress, maintaining a consistent, stylized texture. At larger sizes the crisp serifs and tapered terminals read as refined details; in dense text the strong contrast and narrow joins can create a busy, sparkling color that benefits from generous leading and careful sizing.
