A sharp, high‑contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines set against fuller main strokes. Serifs are crisp and hairline-like, with minimal bracketing, and the joins and terminals tend to taper into needle points that emphasize the slanted rhythm. Proportions feel streamlined and tall, with generous curves in round letters and narrow internal counters that create a polished, airy texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and sculpted italic forms can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and formal invitations. It can work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, with an editorial elegance that reads as premium and fashion-forward. Its delicate detailing and sweeping italic motion suggest formality, glamour, and a classic print sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast italic letterforms, prioritizing elegance, motion, and a refined print-like finish for upscale editorial and brand applications.
The italic is strongly expressive: long entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals create noticeable movement across a line, and the numerals echo the same refined contrast and tapering. At larger sizes the fine detailing is striking, while at smaller sizes the hairlines may visually recede, making spacing and size choice especially important.
