A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. The letterforms combine broad, dark main strokes with razor-thin serifs and connective strokes, creating a crisp, sparkling texture at display sizes. Capitals are elegant and slightly expansive, while the lowercase shows a lively italic rhythm with compact counters and tapered terminals. Overall proportions feel on the wide side, with smooth curves and clean joins that keep the strong contrast looking controlled rather than brittle.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine and lookbook layouts, luxury branding, and large-format promotional work. It can also serve for short pull quotes or title treatments where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated without the hairlines breaking down.
The font conveys a polished, fashion-forward tone: elegant, confident, and intentionally dramatic. Its steep contrast and sleek italic motion suggest luxury editorial styling and high-end branding where a sense of sophistication and flair is desired.
Designed to deliver a modern high-fashion serif impression through extreme stroke contrast, crisp hairline serifs, and an animated italic flow. The intent appears to prioritize elegance and visual impact in prominent settings over neutral, everyday text durability.
The italic angle is assertive, giving lines a fast, forward-leaning cadence. Numerals and capitals share the same sharp contrast and fine detailing, producing a cohesive, statement-making voice; the thinnest strokes will visually recede at small sizes or on low-resolution reproduction.
