A sharply contrasted italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes move between very thin hairlines and dense, teardrop-like thickening, creating a dramatic rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. The italic slant is assertive, with lively entry/exit strokes and calligraphic joins; many curves show pointed terminals and small, precise finishing flicks. Numerals mirror the same contrast and sculpted curves, reading as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short, high-impact settings where its contrast can breathe. It works well in fashion editorials, luxury branding, and cultural posters, especially at larger sizes or with generous tracking. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable when set with ample size and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is luxurious and image-conscious, with a distinctly high-fashion, magazine feel. Its steep contrast and polished curves convey sophistication and drama, suitable for moments where elegance should be immediately visible.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic with a couture-like sheen—prioritizing elegance, movement, and sharp typographic texture for display contexts.
Capitals appear narrow and poised, with sharp apexes and fine cross-strokes that emphasize the hairline/thick-stroke interplay. Lowercase forms show energetic italic construction and compact counters, while punctuation and the ampersand carry the same refined, tapered finishing.
