A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic axis and sharp hairlines set against fuller main strokes. Serifs are fine and tapered, with a mix of pointed terminals and subtly bracketed connections that create a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions are moderately narrow and lively, with energetic diagonals in capitals and smooth, cursive-like joins in the lowercase; the rhythm is quick and slanted, producing a graceful, continuous texture in text. Figures follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and refined detailing.
Well suited to magazine and book covers, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, invitations, and high-end advertising where a refined italic is desired. It can also work for short-form editorial typography—standfirsts, pull quotes, and section openers—where its contrast and slant can add emphasis and sophistication. For long passages, it will be most comfortable when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
This typeface conveys a poised, editorial sophistication with a distinctly fashion-forward tone. Its crisp contrast and flowing italic movement feel elegant and cultivated, leaning toward luxury and refinement rather than casual friendliness. The overall impression is classic, polished, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, high-fashion editorial voice through strong stroke contrast and an expressive italic skeleton. It emphasizes elegance and cadence—prioritizing a sleek silhouette and stylish detail that reads as upscale in display settings while maintaining an organized, traditional serif structure.
The capitals show a strong, sweeping italic construction with crisp interior counters, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, connected feel even without actual script joins. Curved letters and diagonals (such as S, Q, R, V, W, and y) display pronounced modulation and sharp terminal finishing, reinforcing the typeface’s polished, high-style character.
