A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines, weighty stressed strokes, and tapered, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing crisp joins and pointed entry/exit strokes that give the outlines a sculpted feel. Serifs are fine and precise rather than blocky, and counters stay relatively open despite the dramatic stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same steep stress and delicate finishing, keeping the overall texture lively and polished.
Best suited to display use where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated—magazine features, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, book jackets, and premium packaging. It can work for short text accents such as pull quotes, subheads, and titling, especially when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical, pairing classical letterform cues with an assertive, modern sheen. It reads as luxurious and expressive, with enough sharpness and contrast to feel fashion-forward while still rooted in traditional serif elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious italic voice for contemporary layouts, leveraging dramatic contrast and crisp finishing to create impact without abandoning conventional serif structure. It aims to feel at once classic and attention-grabbing, providing an expressive typographic color for prominent text.
The italic construction is pronounced and consistent across caps and lowercase, creating a brisk forward motion in text. Wide, flowing curves (notably in round letters) contrast with narrow, blade-like diagonals, producing a dynamic, shimmering line in larger settings.
