This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered strokes and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Curves swell into heavy bowls and terminals, then snap into thin hairlines, creating a sculptural, chiseled rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, with lively, calligraphic entry and exit strokes, while the counters stay relatively open for a bold display feel. Numerals follow the same swelling–hairline pattern, with strong thick-thin modulation and angled stress that reinforces the forward motion.
It performs best in headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It’s also well suited to luxury packaging and poster work, particularly when paired with a restrained companion for supporting copy.
The overall tone feels editorial and fashion-led, projecting elegance through tension: dramatic contrast, sharp detailing, and energetic slant. It reads as premium and attention-seeking, suited to statements rather than neutral text.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice with amplified contrast and a confident italic gesture. Its sculpted forms prioritize impact and sophistication, aiming to elevate short phrases and prominent typographic moments.
The design leans on angular joins and knife-like terminals that can create striking sparkle at larger sizes, while the thin hairlines may require careful handling on low-resolution outputs. The italic forms feel intentionally expressive, with a slightly theatrical swagger that keeps lines of text visually animated.
