A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant and strong vertical stress. Thick stems sit against extremely fine hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs, producing a crisp, glossy rhythm. Forms are narrow-to-moderate with lively, calligraphic modulation; counters stay open while joins and terminals taper to needle-like points. Uppercase shapes feel sculpted and slightly grand, while the lowercase shows a more flowing texture with looping entries and a compact, bookish silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where contrast can shine: magazine titles, pull quotes, cover lines, and brand marks. It also works well for refined event materials such as invitations and menus, especially when given generous size and comfortable letterspacing to preserve its hairline detail.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic movement suggest high-end fashion, cultural headlines, and classic literary refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic letterforms—maximizing elegance, motion, and sparkle in print-like compositions. It prioritizes expressive refinement and upscale presence for attention-grabbing typography.
The italic construction is emphasized by long, angled strokes in letters like A, V, W, and y, and by delicate finishing strokes on C, S, and f. Numerals echo the same contrast, with elegant curves and thin connecting hairlines that prioritize style over ruggedness at small sizes.
