A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a mostly vertical stress. Hairline serifs and terminals stay crisp and delicate, while the main strokes swell to confident, dark stems, creating a sparkling rhythm across lines. Proportions feel slightly narrow and poised, with a moderate x-height and ample ascenders/descenders that add vertical elegance. Curves are smooth and taut, and the slanted construction reads as formal rather than casual, with clean joins and minimal bracketing.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine styling, and other display-centric settings where contrast can be appreciated. It can also support refined branding, wordmarks, invitations, and premium packaging, especially when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The tone is polished and upscale, evoking fashion typography, luxury packaging, and traditional bookish refinement. Its steep contrast and sharp finishing details create a theatrical, high-style presence suited to expressive, premium messaging.
Designed to deliver a classic high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and fine detailing, emphasizing sophistication and visual sparkle in prominent typography.
In the sample text, contrast remains striking at display sizes, where the hairlines and sharp serifs become a defining feature. The italic angle and strong calligraphic modulation give the letterforms momentum, while the overall spacing feels composed and deliberate rather than airy.
