A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and broad, smooth swelling stems. The forms are strongly right-leaning with sharp entry and exit strokes, creating a brisk, calligraphic rhythm rather than a purely mechanical slant. Serifs are fine and tapered, with frequent pointed terminals and occasional ball-like ends in lowercase, while counters stay relatively open for an italic of this contrast. Uppercase shapes feel stately and slightly condensed, and the lowercase shows lively modulation and varied widths, with distinctive, decorative join behavior in letters like w and g.
Best used for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and logotype-style wordmarks where the contrast and italic motion can read as intentional styling. It also suits fashion and lifestyle editorial design, premium packaging, and event or cultural posters, especially when paired with a quieter companion for body text.
The overall tone is elegant and high-fashion, projecting a polished, upscale presence with a touch of theatrical flair. Its sharp contrast and energetic italic movement feel expressive and confident, suited to refined branding where drama and sophistication are desired.
This font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic voice for display typography—combining classic serif refinement with energized, calligraphic detailing to create a memorable, luxurious texture on the page.
The numerals follow the same steep italic posture and contrast, with curved figures showing pronounced hairline-to-stem transitions. The design leans more toward display-driven sparkle than sustained small-size readability, as hairlines and tight internal details become visually prominent.
