A razor-sharp italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clean, unbracketed hairline serifs. The forms lean with a confident, continuous slant and show a strong vertical axis, pairing stout main strokes with extremely fine joins and terminals. Counters are relatively open and smooth, while many letters finish in tapered, knife-like entry/exit strokes that heighten the sense of precision. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow in presence, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with delicate horizontals and crisp curves.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated—magazine covers and spreads, luxury branding, beauty/fashion campaigns, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its sharpness and contrast read as glamorous and formal, while the italic flow adds a sense of motion and sophistication rather than warmth or casualness.
Designed to deliver a contemporary high-fashion italic with classic serif discipline: dramatic contrast, fine finishing, and a smooth editorial rhythm. The aim appears to be elegance and impact in prominent sizes, with an emphasis on crisp silhouettes and refined detail.
Hairline details become visually prominent, especially in smaller interior joins and at terminals, giving the face a sparkling, high-definition texture. The italic rhythm is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a sleek line when set in sentences and headings.
