A sharply slanted italic design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering terminals. Curves are smooth and open, while joins and diagonals feel taut and blade-like, creating a crisp rhythm across words. Many letters show extended entry/exit strokes and occasional hairline sweeps, giving the outlines a lively, drawn quality. Proportions lean expansive horizontally with generous spacing, and numerals follow the same contrasty, flowing construction.
Well-suited to magazine-style headlines, lookbooks, and high-end branding where expressive italics and strong contrast can carry personality. It performs best at medium to large sizes in posters, pull quotes, and logo wordmarks, where the fine hairlines and sweeping terminals remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing sophistication with a hint of theatrical flair. Its sweeping motion and fine hairlines evoke a fashion-forward, luxe sensibility, while the strong contrast adds drama and emphasis. The texture reads light on the page, with an elegant, airy cadence.
Designed to deliver an expressive italic voice with a refined, high-contrast presence for attention-grabbing typography. The extended terminals and calligraphic cuts suggest an intention to feel crafted and luxurious rather than purely utilitarian. Overall, it aims to provide a distinctive, stylish texture for display-led applications.
Some glyphs feature notably long cross-strokes and angled finishing cuts that create distinctive silhouettes in display sizes. The italic angle is assertive and consistent, and the contrast is especially evident in curved letters and figures, where hairline sections become very delicate. In continuous text, the lively terminals add character but also create a slightly sparkling, animated texture.
