A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and prominent wedge-like terminals. The design leans on a calligraphic axis, producing lively thick–thin modulation and a forward-leaning rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows pronounced entry/exit strokes and flowing joins that create an energetic texture in words. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with sharp, delicate serifs that stay clean even at larger sizes.
Best suited to magazines, lookbooks, and other editorial layouts where contrast and movement are an asset. It excels in headlines, pull quotes, titles, and luxury branding applications, and can also add sophistication to posters and packaging when set with comfortable leading and not too small.
The overall tone is luxurious and fashion-forward, balancing classic bookish heritage with a more dramatic, display-oriented sparkle. It reads as refined and poised, with a distinctly editorial confidence and a touch of theatrical flair from the steep italic movement and razor-thin details.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of an italic text serif: classic structure and readability cues, elevated by dramatic contrast and finely sharpened details for impact in display settings.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same glossy contrast and sharp finishing, giving headings a polished, boutique feel. The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the spacing in the sample text produces a bright, high-end page color where thin strokes add shimmer between heavier stems.
