A high-contrast italic serif with a strong vertical axis and razor-thin hairlines against weighty main strokes. The forms are wide and open, with crisp, unbracketed hairline serifs and pointed, wedge-like entry strokes that sharpen the italic movement. Counters are generous and the rhythm is lively, with noticeable swelling and tapering through curves. Lowercase shows flowing joins and pronounced terminals (including ball-like details), while figures and capitals keep a stately, polished silhouette with steep slant and clean edges.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and formal invitations. It can work for short passages at larger sizes where contrast and sharp terminals remain crisp, and where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, evoking fashion publishing and classic high-end branding. Its sharp contrast and poised italic give it a cultivated, romantic energy that reads refined rather than casual, with a hint of vintage glamour.
Designed to deliver a refined, high-fashion italic with pronounced contrast and crisp hairline detailing. The wide proportions and open counters appear intended to keep display text airy and upscale while emphasizing the dramatic stroke modulation typical of modern serif styling.
The italic slant is assertive and consistent, creating a fast forward motion in text. Fine details in the hairlines and serifs are visually prominent, and the design relies on crisp reproduction to preserve its delicate strokes. The wide set and open counters help maintain clarity in display sizes while keeping a distinctly formal character.
