This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a steep rightward slant and an elegant, tightly drawn silhouette. Strokes move from hairline-thin entries and serifs to strong, tapered stems, creating a crisp chiaroscuro rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed, often wedge-like, and many joins and terminals sharpen into delicate needle ends. Proportions are compact and tall, with narrow set widths and a flowing, calligraphic construction; round forms (like O and 0) are condensed ovals with pronounced thick–thin modulation. The lowercase shows a modest x-height with long, expressive ascenders and descenders, and the figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic for a cohesive texture in display settings.
It suits fashion and lifestyle headlines, magazine covers and pull quotes, luxury branding, and high-end packaging where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for short subheads or titling in print and high-resolution digital layouts, especially when paired with a calmer roman or sans companion for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and couture-leaning, with a sense of speed and sophistication from the steep italic angle and razor-thin details. The pronounced contrast and narrow proportions add drama and exclusivity, suggesting luxury, culture, and editorial refinement rather than everyday utility.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, modern-didone style italic for display typography—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a distinctive editorial silhouette. Its narrow stance and sharp detailing seem aimed at creating high impact with minimal space while maintaining a classic serif sensibility.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and directional, producing a lively, forward-leaning line rhythm in the sample text. Thin strokes and serifs become extremely delicate, so the design reads best when given enough size and resolution for the hairlines to remain clean.
