A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly sculpted, display-oriented construction. Thick vertical stems are paired with very fine hairlines and crisp, largely unbracketed serifs that taper to sharp points, creating a polished, cut-paper silhouette. The letters lean noticeably and show a lively baseline rhythm, with pointed joins and angled terminals that emphasize speed and direction. Counters are relatively compact and the overall texture is dense and inky at larger sizes, while thin connecting strokes remain delicate and refined.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, pull quotes, and brand marks where high contrast and italic motion can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for luxury packaging, event posters, and short, impactful blocks of text where a refined, dramatic voice is desired.
The font projects a fashion-forward, editorial elegance with a dramatic, high-end tone. Its sharp italics and extreme contrast suggest luxury, performance, and a sense of curated sophistication rather than casual readability.
The design appears intended to evoke a modernized high-contrast serif tradition in an emphatic italic, prioritizing elegance and impact. Its sharp serifs, extreme stroke modulation, and assertive slant are geared toward display typography that feels premium and expressive.
The uppercase shows strong, poster-like presence with triangular entry/exit strokes and pronounced directional stress, while the lowercase maintains a crisp, calligraphic bite in forms like a, e, s, and z. Numerals carry the same italic energy and contrast, reading as stylish accents suited to headings and titling.
