A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairlines that taper into sharp, clean terminals. The forms combine broad, sculpted main strokes with delicate entry/exit strokes, creating a distinctly engraved, fashion-style rhythm. Serifs are narrow and crisp with minimal bracketing, and curves show a polished, slightly calligraphic modulation. Proportions feel relatively compact with an even, normal x-height, while the overall set leans into energetic slant and lively stroke transitions.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, pull quotes, posters, and premium packaging where high contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It can work for short subheads and decks, but longer text blocks will read most clearly with ample size and spacing.
The font conveys an elegant, editorial confidence—refined and upscale, with a dramatic sparkle from its hairlines and steep contrast. Its italic stance adds momentum and sophistication, reading as expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics: sharp, glamorous, and editorial, prioritizing visual impact and refined detail over neutral text economy.
In the sample text, the tight hairlines and sharp joins create a bright, glossy texture at display sizes, while dense paragraphs look intentionally bold and fashion-forward. Numerals and caps maintain the same high-contrast logic, with slender connecting strokes and crisp finishing details that emphasize a polished, curated tone.
