A sharply drawn italic serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. Serifs are small and blade-like, with pointed terminals and a clean, engraved feel; curves transition quickly from heavy stems to fine exits, creating a lively, shimmering texture. Proportions are slightly condensed and vertically oriented, with a steady baseline rhythm and open counters that keep the style legible despite the delicate strokes. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that echo the letterforms.
This style excels in large sizes where the hairlines and sharp terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book titles, fashion and beauty branding, and formal stationery. It can also work for short blocks of text in print or high-resolution settings, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body copy.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward a classic luxury and editorial voice. Its pronounced italic motion adds a sense of speed and polish, reading as cultured and slightly dramatic rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs: visually striking, graceful, and distinctly typographic, with an emphasis on refined detail and a polished reading rhythm.
Diagonal joins and tapered stroke endings are a defining motif, giving many letters a sharp, pen-like finish. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive slanted cadence in continuous text.
