A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and dense, wedge-like main strokes that create a sharp, sculpted silhouette. Serifs are minimal and often resolve into pointed terminals, giving many letters a cut, blade-like finish rather than bracketed endings. Curves are tightly drawn and slightly asymmetric, with pronounced entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like flicks on capitals and descenders. Spacing and letterfit feel intentionally lively, producing a rhythmic, variable texture that alternates between open counters and sudden dark accents.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—headlines, editorial design, brand marks, product packaging, and event or cultural posters. It will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes and with comfortable leading, where the thin hairlines and pointed terminals have room to breathe.
The overall tone is elegant but provocative—more runway and magazine masthead than traditional book typography. Its sharp terminals and extreme stroke contrast add a sense of drama and motion, while the italic slant keeps the voice fluid and expressive. The result feels luxurious, stylized, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic italic serif behavior through a more graphic, decorative lens—amplifying contrast, sharpening terminals, and injecting swash-like motion for high-impact display typography.
Capitals show distinctive, simplified forms with strong diagonal stress and pointed apexes, while the lowercase introduces more flamboyant movement in letters like g, j, y, and z. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with a sleek, fashion-oriented presence rather than utilitarian neutrality.
