A high-contrast serif italic with a steep rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design pairs knife-like hairlines with weighty main strokes, creating sparkling highlights and crisp negative spaces. Serifs are small and sharp, often wedge-like, with elegant terminals and a generally vertical stress in rounded forms. Proportions feel compact and tall, with slightly fluid, calligraphic joins in the lowercase and lively, sculpted numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, and elegant branding where contrast and italic motion are assets. It can also work for short-form editorial text at comfortable sizes with ample leading, where its delicate hairlines have room to breathe.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-fashion, with a sense of drama created by the extreme contrast and sweeping italic rhythm. It reads as refined and cultured, leaning toward literary and luxury cues rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Likely intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward interpretation of the classical high-contrast italic, emphasizing elegance, speed, and visual sparkle. The design prioritizes graceful motion and refined detail for premium communication and expressive typographic moments.
Uppercase forms appear disciplined and stately while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals. The italic angle and contrast can produce a shimmering texture in paragraphs, especially where hairlines cluster, making spacing and size choices particularly influential.
