A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes, producing a crisp black‑and‑white texture. Serifs are thin and pointed with a distinctly cut, wedge-like feel, and many terminals finish in flicked, calligraphic points. The italic angle is assertive and consistent, with lively curves and tight joins that keep counters clean while maintaining a polished, display-ready finish. Numerals and capitals carry the same strong contrast and sharp endings, giving the set a cohesive, refined rhythm across letters and figures.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and premium marketing collateral where contrast and italic flair can lead the layout. It can also work for pull quotes, invitations, and poster typography, especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality output.
The overall tone is sophisticated and stylish, with a dramatic, runway/editorial energy. Its sharp serifs and sweeping italic motion suggest luxury and confidence rather than casual friendliness, giving text a poised, high-end voice.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic italic serifs: maximum stroke contrast, sharp finishing details, and a fluid, attention-grabbing slant. The intent is to create an elegant voice with strong visual impact in display and editorial contexts.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and fine details, so it reads best where rendering can preserve thin strokes. The italic forms feel intentionally sculpted rather than purely slanted, with distinctive swashes and tapered strokes that add movement in headlines and short passages.
