A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal axis and sharply modulated strokes, shifting from thick, sculpted stems to hairline joins and terminals. Serifs are fine and crisp, with a mix of lightly bracketed transitions and pointed, knife-like endings that emphasize the slanted motion. Capitals feel broad and stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows lively, calligraphic shaping—especially in the curved letters—creating an energetic rhythm. Numerals match the italic flow and contrast, with small, sharp terminals and a slightly dramatic silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and other editorial applications where large sizes can showcase the hairline details. It can work for short-to-medium runs of text in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings, particularly when a refined, premium tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward voice. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement convey sophistication and a touch of theatricality, reading as premium and classical rather than casual or utilitarian.
Designed to deliver an expressive, high-contrast italic that feels rooted in classic serif traditions while leaning toward modern editorial drama. The forms prioritize elegance, motion, and sharp typographic sparkle for attention-grabbing typographic hierarchy.
In continuous text, the strong stroke contrast and narrow hairlines produce a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes where the tapered details and terminals become a defining feature. The slant is consistent and the spacing feels intentionally open for an italic, contributing to a sweeping, display-leaning presence.
