A high-contrast serif display face with razor-thin hairlines and broad, tapering main strokes that frequently end in wedge-like, flared terminals. The forms show a pronounced reverse-leaning calligraphic stress, creating an energetic, cut-and-fold rhythm in curves and joins. Serifs and terminals are often sharply pointed or blade-like, and many glyphs feature deep ink traps and abrupt transitions that emphasize a sculpted, angular silhouette. Proportions are generally classic and upright in structure, but the internal stroke modulation and reverse slant create a lively, decorative texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks where distinctive letterforms and high contrast are desirable. It can work for short display copy or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is bold and fashion-forward, mixing elegance with a slightly mischievous, avant-garde edge. Its sharp joins and dramatic contrast feel theatrical and high-end, suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through a reverse-italic, calligraphic lens, prioritizing expressive stroke endings and a stylized rhythm to create a memorable display voice.
In continuous text the strong modulation produces a distinctive, flickering color with prominent spikes at terminals and curves, especially in letters like S, a, g, and y. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with expressive diagonals and tapered strokes that read as display-oriented.
