A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show strong diagonal stress, crisp entry/exit strokes, and energetic curves, with occasional swash-like terminals (notably in several lowercase and numerals). Counters are relatively open and proportions feel generously set, giving the italic a flowing rhythm and a clean, glossy silhouette in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where the contrast and italic flair can read clearly. It can work for editorial layouts and refined branding systems, especially when used to signal emphasis or sophistication rather than continuous long-form body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its dramatic contrast and lively italic motion add a sense of sophistication and performance, leaning toward fashion, luxury, and classic literary sensibilities rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and expressive terminals for premium editorial and branding contexts.
The italic construction is prominent enough to define the texture of a paragraph, producing a smooth slanted cadence and sparkling highlights along the hairlines. Some characters feature expressive hooks and curled terminals that increase personality and suggest careful use of spacing to keep the texture even at larger sizes.
