A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms lean with an elegant, continuous rhythm, showing vertical stress in round shapes and tapered terminals that often end in fine points. Capitals are narrow and statuesque with crisp apexes and delicate cross-strokes, while the lowercase combines compact bowls with long, slender ascenders and descenders for a lively, calligraphic flow. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with curved figures and thin entry/exit strokes that keep the texture airy and precise.
Best suited for display sizes where the delicate hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and refined packaging. It can also work for short to medium editorial passages when ample size and comfortable spacing are available, maintaining an elegant, high-style texture on the page.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, projecting a couture, magazine-ready elegance. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic movement feel theatrical yet controlled, suggesting premium branding and cultured editorial styling rather than casual or utilitarian use.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics: expressive, fast-moving forms paired with meticulous hairline detailing. It prioritizes glamour and clarity of silhouette, aiming for a premium, editorial voice with strong impact in display typography.
In text, the slanted rhythm creates a smooth, fast reading line, while the hairlines and tight joints introduce a sparkling, high-end texture. The design favors crisp detail and sharp finishing over softness, giving headlines a poised, engraved-like presence.
