A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Stems are weighty and sculpted, while serifs resolve as pointed wedge-like forms that often taper into fine hooks. Curves show a vertical stress and a slightly calligraphic construction, with occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes (notably in several capitals and numerals). Overall spacing reads tailored rather than airy, producing a compact, assertive texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster work where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also serve for short pull quotes or titling, but works most convincingly when given sufficient size and breathing room.
The tone is glamorous and high-drama, balancing couture refinement with a bold, attention-seeking presence. Its sharp hairlines and dagger-like serifs feel upscale and theatrical, lending a sense of prestige and intensity rather than everyday warmth.
The design appears intended to fuse classic high-contrast serif traditions with a more flamboyant, italic-forward silhouette, prioritizing impact and elegance. The wedge serifs, hairline cuts, and occasional flourish suggest a focus on sophisticated display use rather than neutral text setting.
In text, the strong slant and tight rhythm create fast forward motion and a distinctly editorial voice. The contrast and fine details are striking at display sizes, where the thin strokes and pointed terminals remain legible and intentional.
