A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The letterforms show a strong forward slant, pointed terminals, and elegant, tapering strokes that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel tall and sleek with narrow joins and delicate cross-strokes, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable x-height paired with long, fluid ascenders and descenders. Numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, with angled stress and fine finishing details.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and lifestyle editorial systems, premium branding, and packaging where a refined, high-impact serif voice is desired. For longer passages, it works most naturally as an accent style or for short, prominent text blocks.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly fashion-forward, editorial character. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic motion convey sophistication and a touch of theatrical flair, reading as polished rather than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for display-led typography, pairing traditional serif structure with a sleek, contemporary editorial finish. Its emphasis on sharp hairlines, tapered forms, and forward momentum suggests a focus on elegance and impact over neutrality.
In text, the italic angle and strong contrast create a pronounced texture: bold main strokes form a dark, energetic cadence while hairlines add sparkle. The design favors clean, sharp edges and tapered joins, which makes it feel precise at larger sizes and more delicate as sizes shrink.
