A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Stems are robust while hairlines are extremely thin, producing a crisp, sparkling texture and strong vertical emphasis. The italic construction is moderately steep and visibly calligraphic, with flowing joins, angled stress in round letters, and lively entry/exit strokes. Proportions are slightly condensed in some capitals with generous sidebearings, while lowercase forms keep a steady x-height and show pronounced modulation in bowls, arches, and diagonals.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and brand systems that want a classic, high-fashion italic voice. It can also serve for pull quotes, invitations, and titling where its sharp contrast and calligraphic motion are given enough size and whitespace to breathe.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, with a fashion-forward sharpness and a sense of ceremony. Its glossy contrast and pointed details convey sophistication and drama, suggesting premium editorial styling rather than utilitarian text color.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation infused with dramatic italic energy—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and expressive stroke endings for impactful reading at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the extreme hairlines and pointed terminals create a striking rhythm at display sizes, while tighter spacing or smaller sizes may require careful handling to preserve clarity. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, keeping the set cohesive for headlines and titling with figures.
