A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapering hairlines and weighty vertical stems, creating a distinctly dramatic thick–thin rhythm. The letterforms are right-leaning with a smooth, calligraphic flow, and the serifs read as fine, pointed wedges with subtle bracketing into the stems. Curves are crisp and controlled, with tight apertures and delicate terminals that sharpen the overall silhouette. Proportions feel moderately tall with a compact lowercase, and spacing appears designed for display sizes where the hairlines can stay clear.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine display, fashion and beauty branding, and other premium-facing design work. It will shine in larger sizes for titles, pull quotes, and packaging where the hairline details and sharp serifs can be reproduced cleanly, and where its dramatic contrast can provide hierarchy and flair.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone—stylish and formal, with the kind of glamour associated with magazine typography and luxury branding. Its pronounced contrast and italic movement add a sense of sophistication and momentum, making even short phrases feel elevated and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with pronounced contrast and crisp detailing, prioritizing elegance and impact in display typography. Its consistent stress, refined serifs, and controlled curves suggest an emphasis on timeless sophistication rather than utilitarian body-text neutrality.
The uppercase shows strong, sculpted forms and a confident diagonal stress, while the lowercase maintains a consistent cursive-like cadence without becoming script. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that reinforce the refined, print-oriented character.
