A sharply slanted, high-contrast italic with razor-thin hairlines and tapered, swelling main strokes. The forms feel calligraphic and sculptural, mixing crisp terminals with subtle flares and occasional needle-like entry/exit strokes. Curves are smooth and open, while diagonals and joins stay taut, creating a lively rhythm and a distinctly drawn, handcrafted cadence. Capitals are tall and poised, and the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height while emphasizing movement through the strong italic angle.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where its contrast and italic flow can be appreciated. It works particularly well for fashion and lifestyle editorial design, luxury branding, invitations, and poster-style typography, where a refined, expressive voice is needed.
The tone is luxurious and fashion-forward, with a cool, refined elegance. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic motion convey sophistication and a sense of high-end presentation, making text feel curated and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to bring a modern editorial italic voice into a sans-leaning, minimalist structure while leaning heavily on calligraphic contrast for impact. It prioritizes elegance, motion, and typographic sparkle for display settings and premium presentation.
In running text, the sparkle of hairlines against thick stems creates a bright, animated texture, especially in letter pairs with diagonals and loops. The numeral set follows the same sharp, tapered logic, with clean, display-oriented silhouettes that match the italic energy.
