A sharply serifed italic with pronounced vertical stress and an extreme thick–thin rhythm. Stems swell into dense main strokes while hairlines taper to needle-fine terminals, producing crisp, high-contrast silhouettes. The italic angle is assertive, with lively curves and long, slicing entry/exit strokes that create a fast, sweeping cadence across words. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, and the overall spacing and proportions feel expansive, giving capitals a statuesque presence while the lowercase stays relatively compact in height.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, fashion and beauty branding, and large-scale promotional typography where the contrast and italic sweep can read cleanly. It can add premium impact to logotypes or campaign titles, especially when given generous size and breathing room.
The tone is polished and theatrical, projecting a runway/editorial kind of sophistication. Its razor-thin hairlines and bold swells read as luxurious and intentional, with a slightly flamboyant, high-style energy that feels more about expression than neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern high-fashion italic interpretation of high-contrast serif traditions, prioritizing dramatic stroke modulation and sleek, razor-edged detailing. It is built to create a striking, upscale texture and a strong sense of motion in short phrases and titles.
Large optical details—like tapered arms, sharp corners, and deep stroke modulation—dominate the texture, making the font feel most at home at display sizes. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic momentum, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that reinforce the refined, couture-like voice.
