This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and heavier, brush-like main strokes. Serifs and terminals are pointed and blade-like, often extending into small hooks and spurs that create a slightly jagged, ornamental edge. The overall skeleton leans strongly to the right, with lively stroke modulation and uneven, calligraphic pressure that gives letters a hand-rendered, decorative rhythm. Uppercase forms are expressive and slightly flamboyant, while lowercase maintains a readable cursive-leaning structure with narrow joins, long ascenders, and brisk, angled finishing strokes.
It performs best as a display face for titles, headlines, and short passages where its sharp terminals and high contrast can be appreciated. It can work well for cover typography, event materials, themed packaging, and identity marks that want a decorative, slightly gothic flavor; for long body text, it is better reserved for larger sizes and spacious leading.
The font projects a dramatic, gothic-leaning elegance—more theatrical than formal—combining refined contrast with edgy, spurred details. Its sharp terminals and animated movement feel suited to fantasy, mystery, or baroque styling rather than quiet, contemporary minimalism.
The design appears intended to blend italic serif tradition with a more expressive, ornamental finish, emphasizing dramatic contrast and pointed detailing to create a distinctive, characterful voice for display typography.
In text settings, the distinctive spurs and interior cuts remain prominent and add texture, but they also create visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic and read as display-oriented, with curved strokes that end in pointed flicks.
