A sharply cut italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a compact, forward-leaning rhythm. Serifs read as wedge-like and largely bracketed, with pointed terminals and crisp joins that create a chiselled, high-fashion silhouette. Curves are taut and slightly ovalized, counters are relatively narrow, and stroke endings often taper to fine points, giving letters a lively, calligraphic snap. The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, with a strong diagonal stress and a slightly condensed feel that helps large sizes look dense and graphic.
This font is well suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and titling where high contrast and italic energy are desirable. It fits editorial layouts, fashion and beauty identities, premium packaging, and poster work that benefits from a refined yet attention-grabbing serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic serif formality with a modern, editorial sharpness. Its aggressive contrast and italic slant lend a sense of motion and confidence, projecting luxury, sophistication, and a hint of drama.
The design appears intended as a statement italic for display typography, emphasizing contrast, sharp finishing, and a polished editorial cadence. It prioritizes expressive silhouette and upscale character over neutral text regularity, making it a strong choice for branded, image-led communication.
At display sizes the thin hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, creating sparkle and tension along baselines and curves. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, keeping the set cohesive for headlines and titling where figures appear alongside text.
