A high-contrast italic serif with strong vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines set against tapered, swelling main strokes. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often appearing as fine wedges that extend the motion of the italic, while joins stay clean and minimally bracketed. Uppercase forms are tall and poised with crisp terminals and generous interior whitespace; lowercase shows a lively, calligraphic rhythm with narrow apertures and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with thin horizontal elements and sculpted curves that read best at display sizes.
This font excels in magazine headlines, luxury branding, posters, and prominent pull quotes where high contrast and italic energy can be showcased. It also suits short, upscale typographic treatments—titles, invites, and cover lines—where refinement matters more than dense text economy.
The overall tone is luxurious and fashion-forward, projecting a polished, high-end personality. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic movement feel expressive and confident, with a distinctly editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion italic look: dramatic contrast, crisp detailing, and a flowing baseline rhythm that elevates display typography. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact through hairline refinement and sculpted, calligraphic forms.
Curves and diagonals are emphasized over horizontals, reinforcing the italic momentum throughout the set. The finer strokes become extremely light in places, so the design’s character is most apparent when given enough size and breathing room.
