A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and swelling main strokes that create a crisp, glossy rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered, often reading as wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs, with pointed joins and delicate entry/exit strokes. The italic construction is assertive, with pronounced diagonal stress, lively curvature, and occasional extended swashes—especially visible in the uppercase and in letters with descenders like g, j, y, and z. Proportions feel compact and vertical in the caps, while the lowercase shows energetic modulation and slightly variable letter widths that add sparkle in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, brand marks, and luxury-facing packaging where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck text at comfortable sizes, but its finest hairlines suggest avoiding very small settings or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and high-style, evoking editorial sophistication and a sense of luxury. Its dramatic contrast and steep italic slant lend it a confident, expressive voice suited to display-led typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial take on the high-contrast italic serif tradition, prioritizing elegance, movement, and visual drama for display-centric use.
In the figures, curved shapes (notably 2, 3, 5, 9) emphasize hairline hooks and calligraphic flicks, while straighter forms keep a clean, crisp edge. The sample text shows strong word-image impact at larger sizes, where the thin strokes and tapered terminals read as intentional detail rather than texture.
