A delicate italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered serifs set against fuller, sculpted main strokes. The letterforms show a strong diagonal stress and smooth, calligraphic modulation, producing crisp entry/exit terminals and pointed joins. Proportions feel slightly high-waisted with compact internal counters and a poised, airy texture in running text. Curves are clean and controlled, with narrow apertures and finely drawn details that stay consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to fashion/editorial headlines, magazine typography, luxury identities, and high-impact pull quotes where fine details can be preserved. It can also work for short, premium text passages in larger sizes, especially in print or high-resolution digital settings where the hairlines won’t break down.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward elegance. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic movement give it a cultured, high-end feel suited to premium branding and sophisticated layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics, emphasizing elegance, motion, and precision. It prioritizes visual drama and refinement for sophisticated communication over utilitarian, low-resolution text performance.
Capitals have a stately, display-like presence while the lowercase maintains a smooth rhythm, making the italic read as intentional and expressive rather than merely slanted. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and tapering, contributing to a cohesive, boutique look across mixed text.
