A sharply slanted serif with striking thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic, chiseled construction. Stems and diagonals taper into pointed, flared terminals, producing hairline entry/exit strokes and crisp, blade-like serifs rather than blunt brackets. The overall color is elegant and open, with narrow proportions, compact counters, and a lively rhythm created by angled stress and sweeping curves in letters like C, G, S, and the lowercase a/e. Numerals follow the same high-drama contrast, pairing sturdy main strokes with delicate hairlines and triangular finishing strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty campaigns, luxury packaging, and elegant poster work where its hairlines and tapered terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or opening lines, especially with generous leading and careful reproduction.
The font reads polished and high-end, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and italic momentum convey sophistication and intensity, giving text a poised, expressive tone suited to premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward italic with pronounced contrast and distinctive flared terminals, balancing classical serif cues with a sharper, more stylized finish. Its forms prioritize visual elegance and impact over neutral text anonymity.
Uppercase forms feel tall and sculptural, while the lowercase maintains a readable, contemporary italic texture through relatively straightforward shapes and consistent stroke logic. The thin strokes become extremely fine in places, so the design’s character is most apparent when given enough size and breathing room.
