A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant and strong vertical stress. Thick main strokes pair with extremely fine hairlines and sharp, clean serifs, producing a crisp, cut-paper feel at larger sizes. Capitals are narrow-to-moderate with elegant, sweeping curves, while the lowercase shows a short x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and lively entry/exit strokes that create a rhythmic, calligraphic texture. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast and slant, with refined thin details that read as delicate against the heavy stems.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, magazine and lookbook settings, brand marks, and premium packaging where its contrast and italic sweep can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when set with ample size and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic refinement with a modern, high-fashion edge. Its sharp contrast and energetic italic movement feel confident, upscale, and attention-seeking—more runway editorial than everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, editorial italic voice with striking contrast and refined detail, prioritizing sophistication and visual drama over neutral, continuous reading.
Fine connecting strokes and hairline serifs are visually prominent, so the design rewards generous sizing and careful spacing. The overall color alternates between dense black strokes and bright internal counters, giving lines a sparkling, high-contrast cadence.
