A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and strongly tapered thick strokes, producing a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle flaring at stroke terminals, and curves are tightly controlled with clean, glossy-looking joins. Uppercase proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows energetic italics with a forward slant, compact counters, and a lively baseline flow. Figures are similarly high-contrast and sculpted, with angled stress and delicate entry/exit strokes that keep spacing airy at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, luxury branding, and striking poster titles. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads when given ample size and spacing; the delicate hairlines and sharp terminals are most effective when not forced into small, dense text settings.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining luxury-editorial sophistication with a dramatic, high-fashion snap. Its sharp terminals and steep contrast read as confident and premium, while the italic movement adds momentum and flair.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, editorial italic with pronounced contrast and refined, flared terminals—prioritizing elegance, movement, and a premium feel for attention-grabbing typography.
The design relies on fine hairlines and pointed details that visually intensify at larger sizes, where the tapered terminals and stroke modulation become the main character. The italic forms maintain a consistent slant across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping long lines feel cohesive despite the strong contrast.
