A high-contrast italic serif with wide proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Thick vertical stems pair with extremely thin hairlines and sharp, tapered serifs, producing a crisp, shimmering texture in text. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed terminals and tight joins that emphasize the diagonal stress typical of a stylized italic. The lowercase shows compact, slightly compressed counters and lively entry/exit strokes, while caps are tall and stately with sculpted, wedge-like finishing. Figures follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and fine hairline details that read best at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, magazine-style editorial layouts, and luxury branding where high contrast and italic energy can be showcased. It can work for short passages at larger sizes in print-quality conditions, but its hairlines and sharp details make it more comfortable as a display face than for dense, small body copy.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—an upscale, fashion-forward italic that feels luxurious and attention-seeking without becoming ornamental. Its sharp contrast and sweeping curves suggest sophistication, glamour, and a contemporary editorial sensibility.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif italic—prioritizing elegance, drama, and a sleek typographic silhouette for branding and editorial display.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates a lively rhythm with sparkling highlights along hairlines; spacing feels generous enough to keep the italic from clumping, but the thinnest strokes will visually fade at smaller sizes or on low-resolution reproduction. The design’s italic forms look intentionally stylized rather than purely text-italic, giving headlines a distinctive, branded flavor.
