A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant and a crisp calligraphic modulation. Thick strokes dominate the main stems while hairlines taper to fine points, creating sharp joins and delicate terminals. Serifs are thin and knife-like with minimal bracketing, and many characters show teardrop/ball-like terminals and sweeping entry/exit strokes that amplify the sense of motion. The overall rhythm is energetic and sculptural, with slightly varied letterfit and pronounced curves that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where high contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or hero text, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve its fine details.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion tone—dramatic and confident, with a refined, luxe finish. Its sharp contrast and flowing italic movement suggest elegance and theatrical emphasis, making text feel curated and premium rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial take on a contrast-heavy italic serif—prioritizing dramatic thick–thin interplay, sharp finishing details, and a sense of forward motion for high-impact, stylish typography.
In the samples, the lively italic angle and strong thick–thin transitions create a sparkling texture; counters can pinch where hairlines meet, and the most delicate strokes may soften at small sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same expressive contrast, supporting display settings where personality is welcome.
