A sharply slanted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered stroke terminals. Serifs read as wedge-like and subtly flared, with a carved, calligraphic feel at joins and endings rather than blunt cuts. Capitals are compact and sculpted, with energetic diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y/Z) and tight internal counters; the Q has a pronounced, sweeping tail. Lowercase is lively and slightly condensed in places, with a single-storey a and g, teardrop-like dots, and long, expressive ascenders/descenders that reinforce the italic rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, and brand marks where dramatic contrast and italic motion are assets. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but its delicate hairlines and assertive slant make it most effective as a display voice in print or high-resolution digital layouts.
The overall tone is high-fashion and editorial, pairing elegance with a confident, theatrical edge. Its steep italic movement and razor-thin hairlines create a sense of speed and sophistication, while the flared, chiseled detailing adds a classic, crafted character.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact italic with a carved, flared-serif vocabulary—prioritizing expressive rhythm, sharp contrast, and distinctive silhouettes for premium editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the face builds a pronounced diagonal texture and strong word shapes, with attention-grabbing contrast that favors larger sizes. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and angled stance, reading as display-oriented and stylized rather than utilitarian.
