A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, polished silhouette and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Hairlines are extremely fine and sharp, while main strokes are fuller, producing a distinctly engraved, fashion-editorial texture. Serifs are delicate and tapered, often finishing in needle-like points with subtle bracketed transitions. The italic angle is assertive and consistent, with narrow joins and compact counters that keep the color even despite the dramatic contrast; curves show a controlled, slightly calligraphic stress and smooth, continuous stroke transitions.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other display settings where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and luxury branding, invitations, and high-end packaging, and can add a dramatic, polished accent in pull quotes or short subheads.
The overall tone is luxurious and dramatic, with a couture, magazine-ready sophistication. Its razor-thin details and lively italic rhythm add a sense of motion and flair, reading as refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast italic serif, emphasizing sharp refinement, sweeping rhythm, and strong visual impact at larger sizes.
The alphabet shows strong differentiation between rounded and straight forms, with tightly drawn apertures and carefully cut terminals that stay crisp at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, combining sturdy verticals with hairline cross-strokes for a cohesive, upscale set.
