A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and distinctly calligraphic stroke logic. Stems swell and taper into flared, wedge-like terminals, with sharp, sculpted serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. The overall proportions are generous and open, with rounded bowls and lively curves that create a crisp rhythm even at heavy text sizes. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly condensed in feel compared to the wide stance of many lowercase letters, while the numerals share the same dramatic contrast and angled stress.
Best suited to headlines, editorial spreads, fashion and lifestyle layouts, and brand applications that benefit from a dramatic serif voice. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where its slanted, high-contrast forms can be given enough size and spacing to breathe.
The typeface conveys an editorial, fashion-forward tone—confident, dramatic, and refined. Its italic energy and flared endings add a sense of motion and theatricality, suggesting elegance with a bold, contemporary edge rather than quiet bookishness.
Likely designed to blend classic serif heritage with a more expressive, calligraphic italic attitude, using flared terminals and strong contrast to create a distinctive display texture. The intent appears to be a sophisticated, attention-grabbing serif for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
Angular joins and tapered entry/exit strokes give the letters a chiseled, ink-driven look, while the strong contrast creates bright internal spaces and sharp silhouettes. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, helping long lines feel dynamic, though the expressive terminals and contrast make it most at home at display and headline scales.
