A high-contrast italic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a pronounced rightward slant. The design shows vertical stress with crisp, hairline serifs and sharp terminals, giving strokes a polished, engraved feel. Capitals are broad and authoritative, while the lowercase has compact counters, energetic curves, and a rhythmic baseline flow. Numerals match the text style with similarly dramatic contrast and refined endings, maintaining a cohesive, display-forward texture.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or lifestyle branding, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where its contrast and italic rhythm can be appreciated, rather than extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, leaning toward luxury and fashion editorial styling. Its sharp contrast and swift italic movement convey confidence, elegance, and a sense of premium craft—suited to headlines that want to feel elevated and intentional.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics: pairing commanding, wide capitals with lively lowercase forms and razor-fine detailing. Its emphasis is on visual impact and elegance, prioritizing dramatic texture and sophisticated polish in display settings.
In the sample text, the texture becomes distinctly sparkling at larger sizes, where the hairlines and small serifs read as deliberate detail rather than noise. The italic angle and contrast create strong word shapes, with particularly striking round forms and swash-like joins in the lowercase that add momentum.
