A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic, fashion-oriented rhythm. Strokes move from thick, sculpted main stems to extremely thin hairlines, with sharp, delicate serifs and tapered terminals that often end in pointed, blade-like cuts. The capitals feel tall and poised with generous internal space, while the lowercase shows fluid joins, narrow waists, and pronounced stroke modulation that creates a lively, shimmering texture across words. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic slant, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion spreads, brand marks, and premium packaging where its contrast and italic energy can take center stage. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing, but is less ideal for dense, small body text where hairlines may diminish.
The font conveys polished sophistication and drama, with a couture/editorial tone. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italic motion read as luxurious and expressive rather than utilitarian, suggesting premium branding and high-end publishing.
Designed to deliver a modern high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast italic serif, prioritizing elegance, motion, and striking thick–thin interplay for impactful display settings.
Letterforms show pronounced diagonal stress and a consistent rightward slant, producing strong directional flow in text. The thinnest strokes are extremely fine, so the visual character depends on clean reproduction and sufficient size to preserve the hairlines.
