A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty, sculpted stems. The slant is pronounced and consistent, with sharp triangular serifs and tapered terminals that often resolve into fine points. Curves are smooth and tense, giving bowls and diagonals a polished, engraved feel, while joins stay crisp and controlled. Uppercase proportions read slightly wide and display-oriented, and the numerals follow the same dramatic thick–thin rhythm with elegant curves and clean stress.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where its contrast and slant can be showcased. It can also serve for premium logotypes and short, emphatic lines of text, particularly when paired with a calmer companion for body copy.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic, high-fashion sensibility. Its crisp contrast and sweeping italic motion convey sophistication and formality, leaning more toward editorial glamour than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice for display typography—combining traditional serif structure with a sleek, modern sharpness for elevated editorial and branding work.
The italic construction is expressive without becoming cursive, relying on sharp serif edges and tapered strokes for movement. In text, the contrast creates a lively sparkle, but the finest hairlines suggest it will reward generous sizes and careful spacing, especially on bright backgrounds or in print-like contexts.
