A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairline connections and strong thick-to-thin modulation. The design leans wide with generous bowls and open counters, creating an airy page color despite the heavy stressed strokes. Serifs are crisp and tapered, and many terminals finish in pointed, calligraphic flicks that emphasize forward motion. Overall rhythm is smooth and flowing, with a slightly variable feel to character widths and spacing that reads as organic rather than mechanical.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and brand marks where contrast and italic energy can be showcased. It works well in short-to-medium text settings at comfortable sizes, particularly in high-resolution print or large digital sizes where the fine hairlines have room to breathe.
The font conveys polished sophistication and a distinctly editorial glamour. Its steep italic angle and dramatic contrast give it a confident, luxurious tone suited to statement typography. The sharp, tapered details add a sense of precision and formality while still feeling lively and expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with an expressive italic stance. It prioritizes elegance and impact through extreme stroke contrast, crisp detailing, and sweeping forms that elevate titles and brand-facing typography.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and tight joins become visually delicate at smaller sizes, while the bold stressed strokes remain prominent, producing a sparkling texture typical of high-contrast italics. Numerals share the same slanted, sculpted treatment, keeping a consistent voice across letters and figures.
