A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms lean with a steady slant and show strong vertical stress, while curves transition quickly into fine connecting strokes. Uppercase shapes are broad and commanding, and the lowercase keeps a relatively low x-height with long, elegant extenders that add a calligraphic rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic flow, with stylized curves and fine finishing strokes that read best at moderate to large sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, and brand marks where high contrast and an elegant italic voice are desirable. It can also work for short subheads or packaging copy when size and printing conditions preserve the thin hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and aspirational, evoking fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and classic editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic movement create a confident, dramatic presence that feels refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif look with strong contrast and crisp detailing, prioritizing visual impact and sophistication in display settings.
In running text the texture alternates between bold vertical stems and delicate hairlines, creating a lively sparkle and a distinctly display-forward color. The italic forms emphasize speed and sophistication, with pointed terminals and tightly drawn joins that heighten the sense of precision.
