A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly tapered stroke endings. Hairlines are extremely thin and crisp, while main stems and diagonals swell into bold, sculpted strokes, creating a sharp thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often resolving into pointed, wedge-like terminals that reinforce the calligraphic feel. Letterforms are compact and energetic, with tight internal counters and dynamic curves, giving the design a lively, “cut” silhouette in both capitals and lowercase.
This font excels in display settings such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, and promotional typography where contrast and italic motion can be showcased. It also suits packaging and editorial pull quotes, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines and sharp terminal details.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, combining classic italic refinement with a showy, fashion-forward sheen. Its sharp terminals and striking contrast make it feel premium and expressive, suited to sophisticated, attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion italic voice with strong thick–thin drama and a distinctly calligraphic finish. It prioritizes visual impact and elegance, using sharp wedges, tight curves, and crisp hairlines to create a premium, expressive texture.
The figures follow the same high-contrast, slanted construction as the letters, with stylized curves and pointed joins that read as display-oriented. In text settings, the rhythm is assertive and animated, with hairline details that visually sparkle while the heavy strokes anchor the line.
