A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic axis and sharp, tapered serifs. Stems swing between thick main strokes and very fine hairlines, producing a crisp, glittering texture in text. The italics show a forward, flowing slant with sculpted curves and wedge-like entry/exit strokes, while the capitals remain narrow and formal with tightly controlled proportions. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with pointed terminals and small, clean counters that keep the design feeling precise rather than soft.
Best suited to display-driven settings such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where its high contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or introductions when set at comfortable sizes and with adequate line spacing to protect the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a classic, fashion-forward polish. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic motion evoke sophistication and a slightly theatrical emphasis, making it feel refined and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast italic, emphasizing calligraphic movement, sharp finishing strokes, and a luxurious page color. It prioritizes expressive emphasis and refined styling for editorial and branding contexts.
Spacing reads moderately open for an italic of this contrast, helping counters stay legible despite the thin hairlines. Numerals match the text’s calligraphic logic, with angled stress and sharp terminals that keep them visually consistent alongside the letters.
