An italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sculpted, calligraphic construction. Strokes are generally even in weight with subtle tapering, and terminals frequently finish in teardrop- and wedge-like forms that read as flared serifs rather than flat slabs. Curves are narrow and dynamic, with many bowls and counters drawn as compressed, upright ovals that enhance the forward motion. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, and several letters feature distinctive internal cuts or pointed joins that give the forms a decorative, engraved feel.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine covers, posters, and brand marks where its distinctive italic rhythm can carry the composition. It can also work for short editorial subheads, pull quotes, and premium packaging when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining classic italic elegance with a sharp, stylized edge. It evokes fashion and editorial typography, with a hint of vintage signage and display lettering. The assertive slant and tapered details create a sense of speed and confidence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional italic serif through a decorative, sharply tapered drawing, emphasizing motion and personality over neutrality. Its letterforms prioritize expressive terminals and a stylish texture that stands out in attention-grabbing typographic roles.
In text, the strong oblique angle and narrow counters make the face feel energetic and compact, favoring larger sizes where the inner shaping and terminal details can be appreciated. Numerals match the italicized, sculpted style, with curvy figures and pointed entries/exits that maintain the same forward-leaning momentum.
