A compact, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring stroke endings. Letterforms are wide and energetic, with tapered terminals, sharp joins, and wedge-like serif shapes that feel carved rather than mechanical. Curves are full and glossy, counters stay open despite the heavy strokes, and the rhythm alternates between broad vertical masses and hairline linkages, creating a crisp, high-impact texture. Numerals match the bold, angled stance, with strong contrast and tight, stylized curves.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and flare can be appreciated. It can also work for short, emphatic blocks of text—taglines, pull quotes, and packaging callouts—where a bold, stylized italic is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and glamorous, evoking fashion headlines, vintage advertising, and showy display typography. Its sweeping italic motion and dramatic contrast give it a confident, theatrical voice that reads as premium and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a statement display serif that blends classic italic calligraphy cues with flared, sculpted terminals for maximum drama and presence. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and visual punch, aiming to deliver a refined yet show-stopping look for modern branding and editorial typography.
Stroke endings often widen into flared, brush-like shapes that add movement and a slightly calligraphic flavor. At smaller sizes the hairlines and tight internal details may visually thin out, while at large sizes the sculptural serifs and curved joins become the main character.
