A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairline serifs, and a strongly calligraphic construction. Strokes show a steep diagonal stress with sharp, tapered entry and exit terminals, producing a lively rhythm and elegant forward motion. Capitals are narrow and sculpted with clean wedge-like serifs, while lowercase forms keep a relatively traditional skeleton but with elongated curves and energetic joins; the italic a and g are single-storey and the overall spacing reads intentionally fashion-tight. Numerals echo the same contrast and slanted posture, with delicate hairlines and bold main strokes that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial passages where contrast and motion are desirable. It works especially well for fashion, beauty, arts, and luxury branding, as well as posters and promotional materials where a dramatic italic serif can carry the visual voice.
The tone is polished and theatrical, evoking upscale editorial typography and runway-era elegance. Its sharp contrast and emphatic italic slant communicate sophistication, urgency, and a sense of crafted refinement rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial italic with classic serif foundations, emphasizing contrast, forward momentum, and a premium feel. Its detailing and proportions suggest it is meant to stand out in display contexts while still supporting refined text settings at larger sizes.
In continuous text the strong slant and hairline details create a sparkling texture with prominent vertical–diagonal rhythm, best supported by generous size and comfortable leading. The letterforms favor style and silhouette over low-key readability, with distinctive swashes of curvature in letters like Q, R, and y that add personality.
