A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a lively, calligraphic construction. Stems and diagonals taper and flare into sharp, wedge-like terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, blade-edge feel rather than flat serifs. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be narrow, while curves show a slightly swelling stroke that reinforces the energetic rhythm. The texture on the line is crisp and dark, with angular joins and pointed details that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion and culture magazines, posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers when set with generous spacing and size, but the dense texture and tight counters make it less ideal for long, small-size body copy.
The overall tone is assertive and stylish, balancing classical refinement with a bold, contemporary edge. Its sharp terminals and sweeping italic motion evoke luxury editorial typography—confident, dramatic, and attention-seeking without becoming ornamental script.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact italic serif for premium display typography, combining classical calligraphic cues with flared, sharpened endings to create a distinctive, memorable silhouette.
Capitals read as tall and stately, with strong diagonal stress in letters like A, N, V, and W and distinctive wedge finishing throughout. Lowercase maintains an italic flow with compact proportions and crisp entry/exit strokes, and the numerals carry the same pointed, flared detailing for a cohesive set.
