A bold, high-contrast italic serif with strongly tapered strokes and crisp, knife-like terminals. The letterforms lean aggressively, with broad, swelling main strokes and fine hairlines that create a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are small and sharp, often expressed as pointed spurs rather than wide feet, and many shapes show calligraphic entry/exit strokes that read as subtle swashes. Counters are compact and oval, punctuation is heavy and rounded, and numerals follow the same sculpted, contrasty logic, producing a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, posters, and high-impact packaging. It also works well for short editorial callouts and title treatments where its contrast and slanted momentum can carry the composition.
The tone is confident and showy, balancing refined high-fashion polish with a slightly retro, headline-driven bravura. Its steep italic stance and sharp detailing lend a sense of motion and drama, making it feel expressive and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The likely intention is a statement display serif that channels high-contrast, fashion-oriented typography with an expressive italic voice. It appears designed to deliver strong brand presence and editorial drama through sculpted shapes, sharp terminals, and an emphatic thick–thin rhythm.
The design’s texture is dominated by dark masses punctuated by thin, bright cuts, so spacing and word shapes feel tight and energetic. Several lowercase forms exhibit pronounced entry strokes and curled terminals, giving the font a distinctive, expressive cadence in running text even at larger sizes.
