A high-contrast serif italic with narrow proportions and strongly tapered strokes that move from hairline-thin to bold, wedge-like stems. Serifs are sharp and triangular, often resolving into pointed terminals that give letters a carved, knife-edge finish. The italic slant is pronounced and energetic, with compact counters and tight internal spacing that create a brisk, vertical rhythm despite the cursive angle. Numerals and capitals maintain the same incisive contrast and angular detailing, producing a distinctly stylized, display-oriented texture.
Best suited for headline and short-form display work where the sharp contrast and italic motion can be appreciated—magazine titles, fashion/editorial layouts, luxury branding, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is sleek and fashion-forward, combining classical italic elegance with a more aggressive, cutting edge. It reads as upscale and dramatic—appropriate for brands or headlines that want a refined but attention-grabbing voice.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a classic high-contrast italic through a more stylized, angular serif vocabulary, prioritizing drama and sophistication over neutral readability. Its compressed stance and razor-like terminals suggest a deliberate aim toward distinctive editorial and branding applications.
The design leans on extreme contrast and acute joins, so small sizes may lose some of the hairline detailing while larger sizes emphasize the sculptural wedges and pointed terminals. The rhythm feels deliberately compressed and animated, with a consistent sense of forward motion across words and lines.
