A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and thick, sculpted stems. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often hairline-like, with crisp joins and minimal bracketing. The italic angle is assertive, producing a lively rhythm and sweeping entry/exit strokes; several forms show subtly calligraphic shaping and tapered terminals. Proportions lean refined and slightly condensed in feel, with elegant curves in round letters and a dynamic, varied silhouette across the lowercase.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty communications, luxury brand touchpoints, invitations, and poster-style statements. It can also work for short editorial accents like pull quotes or section openers where its contrast and slant can be appreciated without relying on continuous small-size reading.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a dramatic, couture-like presence. Its sharp contrasts and slanted motion communicate sophistication and a sense of ceremony, while the calligraphic nuances add warmth and flair rather than austerity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics: elegant, energetic, and attention-grabbing. It prioritizes refined silhouette and dramatic stroke modulation to create a premium, editorial voice for display settings.
In text, the contrast creates a strong sparkle: thick strokes carry the line while hairlines add bright, delicate detail. The figures appear similarly stylized and elegant, with thin connecting strokes and rounded bowls that echo the italic’s sweeping movement. At smaller sizes the finest hairlines may visually recede, making it feel most confident when given room.
