A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and dense, tapered main strokes. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic stress, with sharp, finely cut serifs and pointed terminals throughout. Proportions are relatively narrow and tall, with crisp joins and a smooth, continuous rhythm that favors flowing diagonals and sweeping curves. Numerals echo the same delicate hairlines and sculpted thick–thin transitions, maintaining a consistent, polished texture across the set.
Best suited for editorial typography, magazine features, and fashion or luxury branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It excels in headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and refined display settings, and can work for short passages when set large with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and expressive, projecting luxury and editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and agile italic movement feel poised and stylish, leaning toward a classic, high-fashion sensibility rather than utilitarian text setting.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for polished display use, emphasizing grace, movement, and sharp typographic detail. Its construction prioritizes visual drama and refinement, aiming for a premium tone in contemporary editorial and brand contexts.
In the text sample, the face produces a sparkling line with noticeable contrast-driven shimmer and prominent italic modulation, especially in rounded letters and diagonals. The thin strokes and sharp details suggest it will reward generous sizes and careful reproduction where its fine hairlines can remain intact.
