A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines against sturdy main strokes. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with a crisp, chiseled feel and minimal bracketing, while curves show smooth modulation and tapered terminals. The italic angle is consistent and energetic, with flowing joins in the lowercase and a slightly variable, display-driven rhythm that makes the texture sparkle at larger sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, brand marks, and high-end packaging where contrast and italic motion can be showcased. It will also work well for pull quotes, titles, and short display settings, especially when generous spacing and clean printing conditions preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, projecting sophistication and drama through its stark contrast and sharp finishing. It reads as confident and upscale, with a hint of classic romance from the calligraphic italic movement.
Designed to deliver a contemporary take on the classic high-contrast italic: dramatic stroke modulation, sharp serifs, and a sleek, couture-like presence. The letterforms prioritize elegance and impact in display contexts while maintaining coherent, classical proportions.
Uppercase forms feel poised and formal, while the lowercase introduces more fluidity through looping descenders and tapered entry/exit strokes. Numerals and punctuation maintain the same razor-thin detailing, reinforcing a refined, high-end impression rather than a utilitarian one.
