A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and strong, tapered main strokes. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with small, sharply cut serifs and a smooth, calligraphic slant that keeps the rhythm lively without looking loose. Curves are clean and tensioned, counters stay relatively tight, and the overall spacing reads controlled and deliberate. Numerals follow the same sharp, refined construction, with thin entry/exit strokes and pronounced stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display or editorial roles where its high-contrast sparkle can read clearly. It can also work for refined branding elements—logos, packaging, and event materials—where a sophisticated, high-fashion voice is desired.
The style conveys a polished, upscale tone—dramatic yet disciplined—associated with luxury, fashion, and classic editorial typography. Its sheen comes from the contrast and the poised italic movement, which together feel formal and stylish rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end italic voice with strong contrast and a crisp serif finish, prioritizing elegance and visual drama. Its narrow proportions and controlled spacing suggest it’s built to set stylish, space-efficient display typography with a refined, traditional foundation.
The italic is fairly assertive, with long, elegant diagonals in letters like A, V, W, and X and a graceful, sweeping construction in bowls and terminals. The texture in paragraphs appears bright and sparkling due to the thin horizontals and hairline joins, making it especially eye-catching at display sizes.
