A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline joins that create a delicate, razor-edged texture. Serifs are fine and often wedge-like, with pointed terminals and occasional flicks that feel calligraphic rather than strictly bookish. Capitals are tall and elegant with open, sweeping curves (notably in C, G, and S) and distinctive angled strokes that emphasize direction and movement. Lowercase forms show a flowing rhythm with narrow joins, tapered descenders, and a slightly sprung baseline feel; counters stay relatively open despite the dramatic contrast. Numerals follow the same sharp, tapered logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with thin, curling finishing strokes.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-end packaging where its sharp contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also works well for short pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts, especially where a refined, dramatic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, mixing classic elegance with a distinctly stylized, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast convey sophistication and a sense of curated luxury, while the lively italic motion adds personality and flair.
The font appears designed to deliver a high-fashion, editorial italic with sculptural contrast and signature sharp terminals, prioritizing elegance and visual drama over neutral text utility. Its stylization suggests an intention to stand out in branding and display contexts while maintaining a recognizably serif, classical foundation.
The design relies on very thin hairlines and tight stroke transitions, creating a shimmering texture at display sizes and a more fragile presence as sizes get smaller. Several glyphs use distinctive, pointed finishing strokes and angled entry/exit strokes that make the face feel intentionally unconventional and decorative within a serif framework.
