A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Thick verticals snap into very thin connecting strokes, creating a crisp, glossy rhythm; curves often finish in pointed beaks or small ball terminals. Proportions feel slightly narrow with lively, variable letter widths, and the italic angle is assertive without becoming cursive. Details like the sweeping Q tail, the long descending f, and the compact, looped shapes in a/g add a distinctly ornamental, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where high contrast and italic motion can read clearly. It also fits upscale packaging and formal invitations, especially when set with generous spacing and plenty of white space. For long-form text, it will be more comfortable at larger sizes where the hairlines and counters remain open.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a dramatic, runway-ready elegance. Its crisp contrast and sparkling terminals suggest sophistication and a sense of ceremony, while the energetic italic motion adds glamour and urgency.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, fashion-forward take on classic high-contrast italics—prioritizing elegance, impact, and a refined editorial voice over utilitarian text robustness.
The punctuation and numerals carry the same razor-thin/thick-thin logic, with figures that feel tailored for headline settings. At smaller sizes the hairlines and tight joins may visually soften, while at larger sizes the sharp serifs and terminals become the main character.
