A high-contrast italic serif with strong thick-to-thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms have a rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, with sharp terminals and tapered strokes that create bright, polished counters. Capitals feel wide and stately, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable structure; forms like the single-storey “g” and the brisk, looped descenders add liveliness. Numerals and punctuation echo the same sharp stress and tapered finishing, giving the whole set a coherent, sharply cut texture.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or journal titling, luxury packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short-form text such as intros or captions when set with generous size and leading to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and expressive, leaning toward luxury and editorial refinement. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement convey poise and momentum, suggesting premium publishing, fashion, and cultured branding rather than utilitarian text.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs: elegant, attention-grabbing, and polished, with enough italic character to add motion while remaining structured for composed, editorial settings.
The design’s visual tension comes from the combination of delicate hairlines and confident main strokes, producing a sparkling page color at larger sizes. Stroke endings are consistently pointed and clean, and the italic construction keeps spacing feeling airy and rhythmic even in dense settings.
