A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress, pairing broad, dark main strokes with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and delicate, often reading as tapered or blade-like, and terminals show a calligraphic finesse. Proportions are compact and condensed overall, with lively, slightly irregular rhythm as widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing an expressive texture in text. Numerals and capitals carry strong, sweeping diagonals and curved joins that emphasize motion and contrast.
Best suited to fashion and culture headlines, magazine covers, luxury branding, and high-end packaging where contrast and slant can be showcased. It can also work for short editorial decks, pull quotes, and event identities, especially in larger sizes where the hairlines won’t be lost. For long-form text or small UI settings, the extreme contrast and fine details may require careful size and print/screen conditions.
This typeface conveys a fashionable, editorial sophistication with a distinctly dramatic tone. Its sharp contrasts and assertive slant create a sense of speed and confidence, while the refined hairlines keep it feeling upscale and elegant rather than heavy.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact elegance: a display-leaning italic that maximizes contrast and sheen while keeping letterforms disciplined enough to remain readable in short passages. Its narrow stance and sharp detailing suggest it is built to create a distinctive, premium voice at larger sizes.
The sample text shows a strong, continuous italic flow with crisp joins and prominent contrast, creating a glossy, high-fashion texture. Curves and diagonals are especially energetic, and several glyphs feature refined, tapered endings that enhance the sense of motion.
