A refined italic serif with very strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. The forms show a pronounced rightward slant, narrow hairlines, and energetic entry/exit strokes that create a lively diagonal rhythm across words. Capitals are relatively upright in structure but still lean, with sharp apexes and wedge-like terminals; round letters show tight, polished curves with thin connecting strokes. Lowercase is slightly high-waisted with narrow joins and compact counters, and the numerals echo the same contrast and pointed finishing strokes for a cohesive, dressy texture.
Best suited for display settings where its contrast and italic energy can read cleanly—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxe packaging, and high-impact posters. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or subheads where a sophisticated, stylish emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is poised and glamorous, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and brisk italic movement feel luxurious and fashion-forward, while the traditional serif construction keeps it rooted in classic, literary typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast italic serif: sharp, elegant, and attention-grabbing, while maintaining familiar text-serif proportions for refined readability at larger sizes.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and a pronounced diagonal flow, with hairlines that become especially delicate in dense passages. Curved characters and diagonals (like S, Q, v, w, x, y) carry the most flair through pointed terminals and brisk stroke endings, reinforcing a polished, high-contrast sparkle.
