A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Stems and terminals taper into pointed, wedge-like endings, with flared joins and bracketed transitions that give counters a sculpted, energetic profile. Curves are tight and high-contrast, and many letters show sharp beak-like terminals and angled entry/exit strokes. Proportions read as display-oriented, with assertive capitals and compact, slightly narrow lowercase forms that keep a brisk rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial settings where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for an elevated, fashion or boutique feel, especially when set with generous spacing and at larger sizes.
The overall tone is stylish and dramatic, combining classic serif refinement with a brisk, contemporary bite. Its sharp terminals and high contrast convey confidence and elegance, suggesting a premium, fashion-forward voice rather than a quiet bookish one.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic serif for display typography, leveraging extreme contrast and tapered, flared endings to deliver a refined yet attention-grabbing texture. It prioritizes style and character over neutrality, aiming to add visual drama and a sense of craft to short text.
The numerals and key shapes (notably the ‘Q’ with a sweeping tail and the pointed diagonals in ‘V/W/X/Y’) reinforce a dynamic, cutting silhouette. The italic angle is integral to the design, and the tapering stroke endings create sparkle and strong word-shape variation at larger sizes.
