A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical rhythm and crisp, tapering hairlines. Strokes move from razor-thin to firm main stems, with pointed terminals and finely cut serifs that read as sharp wedges rather than soft brackets. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively small, and many joins show a calligraphic, pen-like modulation. The italic construction is assertive, with narrow, elongated forms and a lively baseline flow that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and large-size editorial typography where its delicate hairlines and sharp serifs can hold up. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal invitations where a polished, high-style italic voice is desired; for longer passages, it will benefit from generous sizing and comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic shimmer created by extreme thick–thin transitions. It feels cultivated and stylish—more suited to display moments than utilitarian reading—carrying a classic, fashion-forward sensibility.
Designed to deliver a sophisticated, high-fashion italic serif voice with maximum contrast and crisp detailing. The intent appears focused on elegant display typography—creating drama and refinement through slender proportions, sharp terminals, and consistent calligraphic modulation.
Capitals are tall and streamlined, with distinctive pointed details (notably in forms like Q and S) that add flourish without becoming ornamental. The numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic slant, giving them a formal, editorial presence in mixed text.
