A high-contrast italic with sharp, clean construction and a pronounced rightward slant. Stems alternate between thick verticals and hairline joins, producing a crisp, glossy rhythm; terminals are tapered and often end in fine points rather than rounded teardrops. Curves are taut and elliptical, with compact bowls and narrow apertures that keep counters small and controlled. The overall texture is dark and punchy in words, while individual letters show delicate hairlines that read as precise, almost razor-thin accents.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and statement typography where contrast and slant can carry the layout. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes when given generous size and spacing, but the hairline strokes suggest it will be most effective in display contexts rather than small, dense text.
The tone is polished and high-fashion, with a cinematic kind of drama coming from the extreme thick–thin transitions. It feels premium and modern rather than warm or rustic, leaning toward an assertive editorial voice. The italic energy gives it forward motion and a stylish, headline-driven presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end italic voice: minimalist in detailing but expressive through extreme contrast and sharp tapering. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and upscale rhythm for attention-grabbing typography in brand and editorial settings.
Uppercase forms are tall and commanding, with simplified, serifless silhouettes that still feel calligraphically influenced through contrast and taper. Lowercase shows a lively, handwritten-like flow (notably in the a, g, and y), but remains disciplined and geometric in spacing and curve control. Numerals match the same contrast and slant, giving figures a display-ready elegance.
