A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are compact and tall with a strong rightward slant, giving a taut, energetic rhythm across words. Curves finish in tapered points or small ball terminals, and diagonals and stems feel crisp and clean, producing a polished, fashion-forward texture. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined contrast, with pointed joins and delicate finishing strokes that read distinctly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, brand marks, and other display applications where its contrast and italic drive can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes or short subheads, particularly in layouts that want a premium, classic-seriffed voice.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, with a classic, high-fashion sensibility. Its sharp contrast and italic momentum add a sense of speed, luxury, and formality, making text feel curated and editorial rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics: compact, energetic, and visually luxurious. Its emphasis on sharp hairlines, tapered terminals, and strong diagonal movement suggests an intention for impactful display typography with an editorial finish.
The design leans on elegant, pointed detailing—especially in terminals and serifs—creating sparkle in highlights and deep, inky main strokes. Spacing appears relatively tight and the narrow proportions intensify the vertical, refined look, which can feel dense in long passages but striking in short settings.
