A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and a pronounced rightward slant. Thick verticals and swelling curves are paired with extremely thin hairlines and sharp, tapering terminals, creating a bright, glittering rhythm in text. Serifs are fine and delicate, often bracketed and wedge-like, and many lowercase forms show subtle entry/exit strokes and occasional ball terminals (notably on letters like j). The capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with strong diagonals and high contrast, while the figures are similarly dramatic with thin joins and emphatic curves.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand expressions that benefit from a refined italic voice. It can work effectively for pull quotes, titles, and short passages where its high contrast can shine, and it pairs naturally with a more restrained roman text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and italic energy convey luxury, formality, and a sense of dynamic movement, making it feel more expressive than neutral text italics.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic with pronounced contrast and delicate detailing, emphasizing elegance and motion. The consistent slant and sharp hairlines suggest a focus on expressive typography for display and editorial settings rather than purely utilitarian text.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and tight apertures create a sparkling texture at larger sizes, while the more delicate strokes suggest it will look best when given enough size and print or screen conditions that preserve fine details. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, flowing line.
