A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, sculpted thick strokes. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with tapered terminals and pointed joins that create a crisp, calligraphic rhythm. The italic slant is assertive, and letterforms show fluid stroke modulation—especially in rounded characters—while maintaining a disciplined, polished structure. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height, open counters, and numerals that echo the same dramatic contrast and tapering details.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, campaign headlines, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where the italic emphasis and contrast are meant to be part of the visual voice.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a runway/editorial kind of drama. Its sharp hairlines and energetic italic movement convey sophistication, exclusivity, and a slightly theatrical flair without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast italic serif: refined, attention-grabbing, and optimized for expressive typography where elegance and punch are prioritized over neutrality.
At larger sizes the hairline detailing and pointed terminals read particularly clean and striking, emphasizing the face’s contrast and italic flow. The design leans on elegant curves and controlled tension in bowls and diagonals, giving text a lively, shimmering texture.
