A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline cross-strokes. The letterforms are noticeably slanted with a crisp, calligraphic rhythm, combining sharp wedge-like terminals with fine, bracketed serifs where strokes meet stems. Counters tend toward compact, vertical ovals, while diagonals and joins create lively, angled transitions that keep the texture active in text. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic flow, with open curves and delicate, tapering terminals.
Best suited to magazine-style editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, and large-size headlines where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for refined invitations, pull quotes, and packaging accents, especially when paired with a calmer roman or a low-contrast companion for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a dramatic, fashion-forward sparkle typical of display-minded italics. Its sharp details and animated slant feel sophisticated and slightly theatrical, lending a sense of luxury and ceremony.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics: glamorous, sharp, and attention-grabbing, while still retaining familiar serif structures for legibility and typographic versatility in display settings.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates a striking shimmer at larger sizes, while the fine hairlines and pointed terminals emphasize precision. The italic construction reads as intentionally expressive rather than purely utilitarian, and the spacing feels designed to preserve a lively, airy cadence between letters.
