A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick strokes, producing a sharp, sculpted color on the page. The letterforms show strong rightward slant, narrow joins, and tapered terminals, with crisp, delicate serifs and minimal bracketing. Curves are smooth and tensioned, and many characters feature subtle calligraphic flicks and entry/exit strokes; the figures and capitals feel especially display-oriented with bold verticals balanced by fine cross-strokes.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial work, magazine headlines, luxury branding, and premium packaging where high contrast and italic energy are an asset. It excels in short-form typography—titles, pull quotes, and logotype-style wordmarks—where its hairlines and sharp serifs can stay crisp.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, with a runway/editorial polish. Its contrast and brisk italic motion convey sophistication, speed, and a slightly romantic, high-end attitude.
The design intent appears focused on a modern, high-fashion italic serif that combines classic Didone-like contrast with more fluid, calligraphic detailing for expressive display typography. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama over utilitarian neutrality.
Capitals read as stately and graphic, while the lowercase introduces more liveliness through swash-like terminals and rhythmic ascenders/descenders. The numerals follow the same contrast model, with distinctive, elegant silhouettes that stand out in short settings. In continuous text the thin strokes can appear quite delicate, emphasizing the typeface’s preference for generous sizes and clean reproduction.
