A sharply contrasted italic serif with a tall, condensed stance and pronounced vertical stress. Thick main strokes sit beside extremely fine hairlines, producing crisp, bright counters and an elegant, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are narrow and pointed, with clean joins and minimal bracketing, while curves and terminals taper to delicate tips. Capitals feel statuesque and sleek; lowercase is similarly slender with compact bowls and a steady, slightly forward-leaning cadence.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and mastheads where its contrast and slender proportions can read cleanly. It also fits premium branding applications—beauty, fragrance, wine/spirits, and boutique packaging—where a polished, upscale voice is needed. For smaller sizes or dense copy, it will benefit from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and performance-driven, evoking fashion mastheads, magazine typography, and high-end packaging. Its dramatic contrast and tight width read as sophisticated and intentional, with a poised, slightly theatrical flair rather than casual warmth.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on high-fashion italic serifs: compact, bright, and striking, prioritizing elegance and impact over utilitarian neutrality. Its consistent vertical stress and razor hairlines suggest a display-first intention for refined branding and editorial typography.
In running text, the thin connectors and hairline serifs become defining features, emphasizing whitespace and giving a bright, airy color. The narrow figures and letters reinforce a vertical, elegant texture, and the italic angle adds motion without becoming swashy.
