This serif italic shows a steep forward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with heavy vertical stems paired with fine hairlines and delicate, sharply bracketed serifs. Capitals are tall and compact, with crisp apexes and tapered joins, while the lowercase features teardrop/ball terminals and lively entry strokes that enhance its calligraphic rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the overall spacing feels firm, producing a dense, high-impact texture in display settings.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cover lines, and high-contrast poster typography where the dramatic slant and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining classic bookish cues with a more fashion-forward, high-contrast sparkle. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves feel luxurious and assertive, giving headlines a polished, high-status presence.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast italics—prioritizing elegance, speed, and impact in display typography while maintaining familiar serif conventions.
The numerals and punctuation follow the same contrasty, italicized logic, with strong weight concentration in main strokes and very thin connecting lines. At smaller sizes the hairlines and tight interior spaces may require careful size and printing considerations, but at larger sizes the crisp detailing becomes a defining feature.
