A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines, strong vertical stress, and sharply tapered wedge serifs. Curves are tight and polished, with pronounced stroke modulation and brisk, pointed terminals that give counters a sculpted feel. The letterforms are generously proportioned, with a sweeping italic angle and lively rhythm; capitals show crisp bracketing and incisive joins, while numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slanted stance.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, luxury branding, invitations, and packaging where high contrast and elegant motion are desirable. It can also work for short subheads and emphatic typography, especially when ample size and spacing preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, pairing classic sophistication with a sense of motion and drama. It reads as luxurious and editorial, with a stylish, high-impact presence suited to premium contexts.
Designed to deliver a modern take on a classic italic serif, emphasizing dramatic contrast, crisp finishing, and a fluent calligraphic rhythm for high-impact typography.
The italic construction is consistent across cases, with distinctive, sharp entry/exit strokes and a slightly flamboyant flourish in characters like Q, R, and the ampersand. At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered details become a key part of the texture, creating a bright, shimmering typographic color.
