A sharply slanted, high‑contrast italic with sculpted curves and tapered terminals. Strokes shift quickly from hairline to heavy, creating a lively rhythm and pronounced diagonal energy across words. Counters are generally open and rounded, with a mix of broad, swelling bowls and fine entry/exit strokes that suggest a calligraphic influence. The uppercase reads compact and commanding, while the lowercase shows more movement and varied silhouettes, reinforcing a dynamic texture in text.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or album covers, and branding where a refined, high-impact italic is desired. It can also work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes where the contrast and slant can be appreciated without the hairlines getting lost.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication. Its strong contrast and italic momentum create a sense of speed, glamour, and formality, suitable for statements that need to feel polished and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, assertive italic voice with classic, calligraphy-like contrast—built to add immediacy and elegance to titles and brand moments. Its consistent slant and energetic stroke modulation prioritize visual flair and hierarchy over neutral everyday texture.
In running text the sparkle from thin hairlines is very noticeable, especially around joins and curves, giving a crisp, high-end print feel. The numerals and capitals maintain the same dramatic contrast and slant, helping headlines look unified and intentional when mixing letters and figures.
