A crisp italic serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The design uses long, flowing entry and exit strokes and tapered terminals that create a sleek, directional rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with pointed joins and occasional teardrop/ball terminals (notably in the lowercase). Uppercase forms are narrow and poised, while the lowercase shows a lively, calligraphic slant and clear differentiation between rounded and straight-sided structures.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, covers, and luxury or beauty branding where high contrast can be shown at generous sizes. It can also work for formal invitations and premium packaging, especially when paired with a calmer companion for extended reading.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with a couture, magazine-like sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and swift italic movement convey luxury and confidence, reading as formal and display-forward rather than utilitarian.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on high-fashion italic serifs: maximizing contrast, sharpness, and graceful stroke flow to create a striking, premium voice in display and branding contexts.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, producing a strong forward momentum in text. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and appear suited to titling and short numeric callouts where elegance matters more than rugged small-size clarity.
