A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, blade-like hairlines. The forms are broad and energetic, with tapered terminals, bracketed serifs, and occasional swash-like flicks that give strokes a calligraphic, cut-pen feel. Curves show strong contrast and a slightly sculpted, ink-trap-like nib character in places, while counters remain open enough for display use. Figures and capitals carry the same high-contrast rhythm, with distinctive, stylized curves and sharp joins that emphasize movement across a line.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short-to-medium display settings where its high contrast and flamboyant detailing can be appreciated. It can work well for magazine and fashion contexts, premium branding, packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a dramatic, refined voice.
The overall tone is theatrical and polished, combining classic serif structure with fashion-forward flourish. It reads as confident and upscale, with a sense of speed and glamour that suits expressive, attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-impact italic serif that blends traditional serif construction with expressive, calligraphic detailing for modern editorial and brand-led applications.
Several letters feature pronounced entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like terminals that create a lively texture in words, especially in the lowercase. The italic slant and wide set amplify horizontality and make the word shapes feel sweeping and dynamic.
