A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced, calligraphic slant and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes snap from hairline connections into heavy main stems, creating a strong light–dark rhythm and an energetic, forward motion. Terminals often resolve into pointed or teardrop-like shapes, and curves show a slightly carved, editorial sharpness rather than soft rounding. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height and relatively generous capitals, while spacing appears tuned for display clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and logo or wordmark work where its contrast and sharp finishing can read cleanly. It also fits editorial layouts, fashion and beauty communication, premium packaging, and event or cultural posters that benefit from a sophisticated italic presence.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive—luxury-leaning and theatrical without becoming ornamental. It carries the voice of fashion headlines and cultured publishing, mixing refinement with a confident, attention-seeking bite.
Designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics—prioritizing dramatic texture, crisp detailing, and a luxurious editorial feel for display typography. The intent appears to balance traditional serif authority with a more fashion-forward, kinetic cadence.
The italics are not merely slanted romans; the forms show true italic construction with lively entry/exit strokes and tapered joins. Numerals and punctuation echo the same contrast and finishing, keeping a consistent, polished texture across mixed-case settings.
