A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced slant and sharp, clean finishing. Stems are thick and confident while joins, serifs, and connecting strokes pull down to fine hairlines, creating a dramatic light–dark rhythm. Serifs are narrow and refined, often wedge-like, and the curves show a slightly calligraphic sweep that keeps counters open despite the heavy verticals. Overall proportions feel generous and display-leaning, with lively width changes across glyphs and crisp interior shapes in letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding, packaging, and event materials when used at comfortable sizes with ample spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is polished and theatrical, leaning toward upscale editorial and fashion sensibilities. Its strong contrast and energetic italic motion read as confident and stylish rather than quiet or utilitarian, giving text a sense of ceremony and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with strong contrast and crisp detailing—optimized for impact and elegance rather than neutrality. The energetic slant and refined serifs suggest a focus on expressive editorial typography and brand-forward applications.
In running text the stroke contrast produces a sparkling texture: thick verticals anchor the line while thin diagonals and serifs add sheen. The italic construction is assertive, with sweeping entry/exit strokes and a noticeable forward momentum that helps headings feel dynamic.
