A high-contrast serif with an italicized stance and wide overall proportions, combining razor-thin hairlines with dense, ink-trap-like joins and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs read as wedge-like and often asymmetric, creating a cut, faceted look rather than a purely calligraphic flow. Curves are smooth but interrupted by pointed notches and tight counters in places, giving many letters a sculpted, stencil-adjacent rhythm. Spacing feels display-oriented, with prominent internal white shapes and a lively, slightly irregular modulation across forms.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its high contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated. It works well for magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and logotype-style wordmarks, especially when paired with a restrained companion for body copy.
The font projects a fashion-forward, high-drama tone—sleek and luxurious, but also edgy due to its carved openings and knife-like terminals. It feels contemporary and editorial, with a confident, theatrical presence that emphasizes contrast and silhouette over neutrality.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that modernizes classic high-contrast italics with carved, decorative cutaways and tapered finishing. Its priorities seem to be distinctive silhouette and editorial impact, delivering a refined-but-edgy display voice for branding and titling.
Uppercase forms are bold and graphic with distinctive cut-ins (notably in round letters), while lowercase shows a more delicate, refined structure with compact counters and pronounced entry/exit flicks. Numerals match the sharp, tapered aesthetic and appear designed to hold up at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and interior cuts remain clear.
