A high-contrast italic serif with broad, weighty main strokes set against extremely thin hairlines and sharp, pointed serifs. The forms lean decisively and show a pronounced vertical-stress feel, with teardrop and ball-like terminals appearing in several lowercase letters. Curves are smooth and generous, counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is punchy and display-oriented rather than texty. Numerals and capitals follow the same razor-thin detailing, producing crisp edges and sparkling highlights at joins and terminals.
Best suited to large-size settings such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and luxury branding where contrast can shine. It can also work for premium packaging, invitations, and campaign graphics, especially when paired with a quieter companion for body text.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion confidence—dramatic and attention-seeking, with a refined edge. Its contrast and italic sweep create a sense of motion and glamour, suggesting premium, editorial, and event-forward branding.
The design appears intended as a statement italic for display typography, emphasizing elegance through extreme contrast and crisp detailing. Its letterforms prioritize visual impact and a fashionable, editorial tone over neutral readability in long passages.
In the sample text, the thin parts can visually fade at smaller sizes, while the heavy strokes dominate, creating strong word-shape silhouettes. The italic angle and pointed serifs give the type a sharp, stylized bite, and the rounded terminals add a slightly playful, swashy character in lowercase.
