A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The design shows steep diagonal stress, narrow entry/exit strokes, and fine, sharp serifs that read as lightly bracketed and tapered rather than blocky. Forms are generously proportioned horizontally with a smooth, flowing rhythm; counters stay open and rounded, while terminals often finish in delicate points or subtle teardrops. Numerals and capitals carry the same dramatic modulation, giving the set a cohesive, polished texture in text.
Best suited to display and editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book-cover titling. It can also work well for formal stationery and invitations where the crisp hairlines and elegant slant can be reproduced cleanly, especially at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is refined and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward presence. Its glossy contrast and slanted posture suggest confidence and formality, lending a cultured, literary character rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast italic serif, prioritizing elegance, drama, and typographic sparkle in premium layouts.
In the sample text, the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs create a sparkling page color at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may demand careful setting to preserve the finest details. The italic angle is consistent and the spacing feels intentionally airy, supporting a smooth reading cadence despite the dramatic contrast.
