A right-leaning serif italic with razor-thin hairlines and strong swelling into heavy stressed strokes. The serifs feel flared and wedge-like, often resolving into sharp, tapered terminals rather than flat slabs. Curves are tightly drawn and glossy, with pointed joins and a lively, slightly compressed rhythm that keeps counters relatively narrow. Overall spacing reads controlled and linear, with an energetic baseline flow and pronounced stroke modulation that highlights the diagonal stress typical of an italic.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can work well for fashion, culture, and luxury-oriented branding or editorial layouts, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body copy.
The tone is polished and high-style, balancing classic letterform cues with a brisk, contemporary slant. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details project luxury, confidence, and a sense of motion—more suited to expressive typography than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive italic voice with premium, high-contrast drama and crisp, flared finishing strokes. It prioritizes visual flair, speed, and refinement over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive presence in display typography.
The numerals show the same italic energy and contrast, with slender forms and crisp entry/exit strokes that reinforce the font’s fast, cutting texture. In text, the strong dark strokes create a pronounced stripe pattern, while the hairlines contribute sparkle and delicacy when reproduced at sufficient size.
