A slanted serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and pronounced tapering throughout. Strokes narrow to hairline-like terminals, while key joins and diagonals carry darker wedges that create an energetic, brush-cut rhythm. Serifs are sharp and often asymmetric, with many characters featuring pointed entry/exit strokes and small flicks. Proportions lean elegant and slightly elongated, with lively curves in bowls and a distinctly decorative handling of diagonals in letters like K, R, V, W, X, and Z. Figures follow the same italic cadence, with curved tops and tapered ends that read more display-oriented than utilitarian.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and identity work where an elegant italic serif can act as a visual signature. It can also perform well in short editorial passages at larger sizes, especially for lifestyle, beauty, or cultural materials that benefit from a refined, expressive typographic tone.
The overall tone is chic and expressive, combining editorial polish with a hint of flamboyance. It suggests luxury and fashion contexts, with a dramatic, headline-ready presence that feels curated rather than neutral. The sharp terminals and sweeping italics give it a poised, slightly theatrical voice.
The design appears intended as a decorative italic serif that balances classical letterform cues with more stylized, cut-in wedge details and sharp, tapered finishes. Its emphasis is on character and gesture—creating a memorable texture and a premium, editorial feel rather than an all-purpose text voice.
In text, the strong slant and frequent tapered flicks create a sparkling texture that rewards generous sizes and spacing. The design’s distinctive wedge accents and pointed terminals make it most compelling where individual letterforms can be appreciated, rather than in dense, small-size reading.
