A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress, sharp hairline serifs, and thick, sculpted main strokes. The forms feel crisp and carved, with tapered joins and thin connecting strokes that heighten the black–white rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and slightly expansive, while lowercase shows lively calligraphic motion, including teardrop/ball terminals and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with elegant curves and refined thin details.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine/editorial layouts, luxury branding, and packaging where its high contrast and expressive italic can lead the visual hierarchy. It also works well for pull quotes, mastheads, and short subheads, especially when ample size and breathing room protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classical refinement with a modern, fashion-driven edge. Its strong contrast and italic momentum create a sense of speed and confidence, reading as premium and attention-seeking rather than quiet or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on high-contrast italic serifs—prioritizing elegance, impact, and rhythmic motion. It aims to evoke classic print sophistication while remaining bold enough for modern branding and editorial display.
In text, the italic angle and contrast produce a distinctive sparkle, especially where hairlines cluster in tight spacing. The heavier stems keep it stable at display sizes, while the delicate thin strokes and terminals become the most visually sensitive features as size decreases.
