A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms lean forward with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, pairing thick main stems with extremely fine serifs and entry/exit strokes. Curves are taut and elegant, with narrow joins and keen, wedge-like terminals that create a sparkling texture in text. Capitals feel sculpted and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence with compact counters and lively, sweeping bowls and tails.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand expressions where large sizes can showcase its hairline detailing and elegant slant. It also works well for packaging, invitations, and high-end promotional materials that benefit from a dramatic, refined serif italic.
The overall tone is polished and glamorous, with a couture sensibility that reads as premium and contemporary-classic. Its sharp contrast and italic motion add drama and momentum, giving headlines a confident, stylish voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast italics—prioritizing elegance, motion, and a luxe, editorial finish. Its consistent stress and razor-thin details suggest a focus on display impact and sophisticated typographic color rather than utilitarian neutrality.
In the samples, the dense contrast produces strong word shapes and a bright, high-end sheen, especially at larger sizes. The numerals match the italic energy, with similarly fine hairlines and emphatic thick strokes, helping figures sit comfortably in display typography.
