A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty, wedge-like main strokes that taper into sharp terminals. The forms lean with a lively, calligraphic axis, and curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation, especially in rounds like O/Q and numerals. Serifs read as fine, pointed flicks and small flares rather than blunt slabs, giving many strokes a sharpened, blade-like finish. Overall proportions feel slightly condensed in capitals with energetic entry/exit strokes, while lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a crisp, rhythmic texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, pull quotes, and brand expressions where high contrast and italic energy can be showcased. It works well for fashion, beauty, and luxury packaging or campaigns, and for posters or titles where a dramatic serif italic is desired.
The font projects a polished, high-fashion tone—dramatic and refined, with a sense of speed and elegance. Its sharp contrasts and italic motion create a glamorous, editorial voice that feels premium and slightly theatrical rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic that blends classical serif structure with sharpened, flared terminals for a distinctly editorial look. Its emphasis on contrast, motion, and crisp finishing suggests a focus on expressive display typography over neutral text setting.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered terminals add sparkle and sophistication, while the dense contrast produces striking word shapes. The numerals follow the same stylized contrast and italic flow, complementing display settings and headline typography.
