A serif display face with sharply flared terminals and a pronounced reverse-italic slant that drives a strong left-leaning motion. Strokes feel carved and calligraphic, with wedge-like endings and tapered joins that create crisp internal notches and split-like counters in places. The contrast reads as moderate overall, but the design relies more on abrupt expansions, razor edges, and shifting stroke thickness than on smooth Didone-style modulation. Uppercase forms are tall and stylized with distinctive diagonals and narrow apertures, while the lowercase keeps a relatively familiar structure but inherits the same sliced, flaring treatment for a lively, high-impact texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, and campaign typography where its distinctive reverse slant and flared terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for branding and logotypes that want a modern, stylish serif voice with strong movement and a memorable silhouette.
The font projects a fashion-forward, editorial tone with a dramatic, slightly avant-garde attitude. Its reverse-lean and sharp flares add a sense of motion and tension, giving text an expressive, couture-like presence rather than a quiet, bookish voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif and flared forms through a contemporary, reverse-leaning, calligraphic lens—prioritizing silhouette, rhythm, and high-impact texture for display settings.
In text, the heavy use of sharp terminals and internal cuts creates strong patterning and can tighten perceived spacing, especially where diagonal strokes cluster (for example around V/W/X and some rounded letters). Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, reading as bold, poster-ready figures with pronounced wedge endings and angled stress.
