A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and weighty, sculpted stems. The forms lean decisively with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, and the stroke modulation creates bright internal counters and sharp, tapering joins. Serifs are fine and bracketing is subtle, with many terminals finishing in pointed, wedge-like flicks that add speed to the silhouettes. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase shows an editorial italic texture with lively entry/exit strokes and a consistent, polished cadence across text.
Best suited for editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, luxury branding, and poster titles where its contrast and italic energy can read clearly. It can also work for short, large-size lead-ins or pull quotes when ample size and clean reproduction preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic, couture sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic motion evoke premium publishing and sophisticated branding rather than utilitarian text work.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with pronounced contrast and crisp finishing, prioritizing elegance and visual drama in display and editorial contexts.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and tight transitions between thick and thin, giving it strong presence at display sizes and in short passages. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, slanted logic, producing a cohesive, stylish typographic color when set in headlines or pull quotes.
