A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Hairline serifs and delicate entry/exit strokes create a crisp, polished texture, while the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Proportions lean wide, with ample sidebearings and open counters that keep the forms airy despite the strong contrast. Curves terminate in sharp, tapered ends, and round letters show a smooth, calligraphic sweep; figures follow the same elegant contrast and slanted rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion layouts, cultural posters, and refined branding. It also works well for pull quotes and short, high-impact passages where an elegant italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, evoking luxury publishing and classic European typography. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics read as confident and stylish, with a formal, curated feel suited to high-end presentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a quintessential high-contrast italic for sophisticated display typography, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and rhythmic movement over neutral text economy.
In continuous text the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle, especially where thin horizontals and terminals repeat. The italic construction favors flowing word shapes and noticeable motion, making it more expressive than utilitarian at small sizes.
