A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and swelling main strokes, showing clear vertical stress throughout. The letterforms are sharply tapered and slightly compressed, with crisp, unbracketed serifs that often resolve into fine points. Curves are smooth and polished, with a lively, calligraphic rhythm; several forms (notably the bowls and terminals in letters like Q, a, f, g, and y) use delicate, swooping exits and teardrop-like finishing details. Figures match the display intent, alternating between taut, straight spines and thin connecting strokes, keeping the overall texture bright and airy despite the bold thick–thin contrast.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large-scale editorial typography where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury brand identities, fragrance/cosmetics packaging, invitations, and poster work that benefits from a sleek, high-contrast italic voice; for longer passages it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and with ample line spacing.
The font projects a couture, magazine-forward tone—confident, glossy, and high-drama without feeling ornate. Its italic slant and hairline detailing create a sense of movement and sophistication that reads as premium and carefully art-directed.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic for display-led communication, balancing classic Didone-like structure with subtle calligraphic flourishes to create an upscale, fashion-oriented texture.
Uppercase forms lean toward classic high-fashion proportions with strong diagonals and pointed joins, while the lowercase introduces more flourish in descenders and terminals, adding personality in running text. The overall spacing and rhythm feel designed for display sizes where the hairlines remain visible and the contrast can shine.
