A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairline terminals, and sharply defined, wedge-like serifs. The forms show a vertical, Didone-leaning structure while maintaining fluid, calligraphic joins and tapered strokes in diagonals and curves. Proportions feel slightly narrow with a lively rhythm: caps are tall and stately, lowercase has a modest x-height with long ascenders/descenders, and many letters feature energetic entry/exit strokes that create a forward sweep in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast logic, alternating strong stems with delicate hairlines for a polished, print-like finish.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and refined invitations or event collateral. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but benefits from generous size and spacing to keep hairlines clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, conveying luxury and formality with a hint of theatrical flair. Its italic movement reads poised and expressive rather than casual, suggesting classic refinement and a high-end, curated sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast italics: elegant, attention-getting, and optimized for expressive titles and premium branding rather than utilitarian text.
In text settings the strong contrast creates a sparkling texture, with hairline horizontals and serifs contributing to a bright, airy color. The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the design relies on clean cut terminals and sharp transitions rather than soft rounding.
