This serif italic has a sculpted, calligraphic build with sharply tapered strokes and prominent wedge-like terminals that read as cut or notched into the forms. The letters lean with a lively forward motion, and many joins and endings resolve into teardrop and blade-shaped details that create a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Uppercase forms are compact and assertive, while the lowercase shows more modulation in width and rhythm, with curled descenders and distinctive entry strokes. Numerals echo the same slanted, engraved character, mixing sturdy stems with pointed, decorative terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks where its sharp terminals and dynamic slant can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging names, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is stylish and emphatic, blending editorial polish with a slightly theatrical, vintage flair. Its sharp cuts and swooping terminals give it a dramatic voice that feels intentional and expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver an assertive, high-style italic serif with distinctive carved terminals, prioritizing personality and motion over neutrality. Its consistent wedge-and-notch detailing suggests an intention to evoke refined drama for display typography.
The design relies on strong silhouette contrast and angular cut-ins, so counters and apertures can appear tight at smaller sizes. The italic construction is integral to the style, with a consistent slant and recurring blade/teardrop motifs that unify capitals, lowercase, and figures.
