A sharply sheared serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals that often flare as strokes finish. The forms lean strongly to the right, with narrow hairlines, broad main strokes, and pointed joins that create a lively, angular rhythm. Uppercase shapes feel sculpted and stately, while the lowercase maintains a readable, book-ish structure with compact apertures and assertive entry/exit strokes. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic tension, with elegant curves and tapered endings that keep the texture energetic in display sizes.
Best suited to headline and display typography where contrast and italic energy can be appreciated—magazine covers, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages or introductions when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity of the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, blending classic print sophistication with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Its strong contrast and italic momentum give it a sense of motion and confidence, reading as premium, expressive, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif for contemporary editorial and branding work, combining classical proportions with sharpened, flared terminals to heighten elegance and drama. It prioritizes expressive texture and visual hierarchy over neutral, utilitarian paragraph color.
In text samples the letterforms create a distinctly striped texture: heavy verticals and diagonals punctuated by very thin connecting strokes. The flared, wedge-like serif behavior and sharp terminals add sparkle and definition, especially in headlines, while tighter counters suggest it will benefit from comfortable sizing and spacing in longer lines.
