A sharp, high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant and a crisp, formal rhythm. Thick strokes feel sculpted and steady while hairlines and serifs taper to fine, needle-like terminals, creating a glittering texture in text. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, counters are relatively compact, and joins stay clean without soft bracketing. The italic construction is assertive, with sweeping entry/exit strokes and occasional ball-like terminals, giving the alphabet a lively, forward motion while keeping a disciplined baseline.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand moments where a refined italic voice is desirable. It also works well for luxury packaging, invitations, and short-form titling where its hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear. For extended reading at small sizes, it will be more effective when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic cadence feel luxurious and confident, suited to sophisticated messaging rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
Designed to deliver a classic high-fashion italic with strong thick–thin drama and crisp finishing. The intent appears to balance formal, high-end sophistication with energetic movement, providing emphasis and elegance in display typography.
In the sample text, the dense contrast produces a strong pattern of thick-thin striping, making the face most striking at display and larger text sizes where hairlines can breathe. Numerals and capitals read with a slightly formal, engraved flavor, while lowercase italic shapes add a fluid, calligraphic snap that increases emphasis.
