A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic construction: thick main strokes pair with hairline connectors and needle-like terminals. Serifs and endings often flare or taper into sharp points, creating a crisp, sculpted silhouette rather than blunt bracketed forms. The slant is assertive and consistent, with narrow joins, tight apertures in places, and energetic entry/exit strokes that give letters a lively forward motion. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height, while curves (C, G, O, Q) show smooth, tensioned bowls and fine hairline transitions that emphasize the contrast.
Best suited to display settings where fine hairlines can be preserved: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, event posters, and impactful pull quotes. It can also work for short subheads or deck copy when set large with generous spacing to protect its delicate strokes.
The font reads polished and high-fashion, with a dramatic, editorial tone driven by its extreme contrast and razor-fine detailing. It carries a luxe, magazine-like sophistication—confident and stylish—while the italic rhythm adds a sense of speed and glamour.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast italic voice for sophisticated display typography—balancing classical serif structure with flared, blade-like terminals to heighten drama and elegance in contemporary editorial and brand contexts.
In the grid, capitals present strong vertical emphasis and pointed finishing strokes, while the lowercase shows more cursive logic with tapered links and animated terminals. Numerals share the same contrast and sharpness, with italicized, display-oriented forms that feel designed to harmonize with headlines rather than utilitarian text.
