A high-contrast italic serif with strongly modulated strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design shows a pronounced diagonal stress, with hairline entry/exit strokes and heavier main stems that create a dramatic light–dark rhythm. Capitals are relatively wide and sculptural, with clean wedge-like terminals and ample interior space, while lowercase forms lean smoothly with compact joins and tapered feet. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine, delicate curves and sharp finishing strokes.
Best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle editorial, book titles, and refined branding. It can also work for short passages or emphasized text where the high-contrast italic texture is intended to be part of the visual voice, especially at comfortable sizes with sufficient line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking classic book typography and contemporary magazine styling at the same time. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast read as confident and refined, lending a sense of ceremony and luxury to headings and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic voice with strong contrast and crisp serif detailing, balancing traditional letterform structure with a contemporary, high-fashion sharpness. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and elegant sparkle over neutrality, making it ideal for expressive typographic hierarchies.
In text settings the thin hairlines and tight points become defining features, giving the face a lively sparkle and a distinctly italic cadence. The italic forms appear purpose-drawn rather than simply slanted, with consistent tapering and a cohesive, calligraphic flow across letters and figures.
