A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, sharply tapered entry/exit strokes, and very fine hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with bold main stems that snap into thin joins, giving a crisp, engraved feel. The italic angle is fairly steep and consistent, while counters stay open and clean despite the contrast. Several lowercase forms show calligraphic terminals and subtle swash-like flourishes (notably in j, y, z), and figures follow the same dramatic thick–thin rhythm with lively curvature.
This style excels in large-scale settings such as magazine headlines, fashion campaigns, posters, and premium branding where dramatic contrast and italic movement enhance impact. It is best used with generous size and careful reproduction to preserve the hairlines and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, leaning toward fashion and luxury with a distinctly editorial sharpness. It feels expressive and slightly theatrical, designed to command attention through contrast and motion rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion reading of a classic high-contrast italic serif, combining crisp Didone-like structure with calligraphic flair for expressive display typography.
Spacing in the samples reads compact and energetic, with strong diagonal flow and rhythmic alternation of heavy stems and hairline connections. The capitals maintain a sleek, chiselled silhouette, while lowercase adds personality through curling terminals and a slightly script-influenced italic construction.
