A high‑contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show strong vertical stress and a sleek, calligraphic slant, with tapered joins and pointed terminals that create a crisp, high-tension rhythm. Capitals are narrow and stately with long, fine entry/exit strokes (notably in A, K, M, N, V, W), while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and flowing italic construction with delicate links and thin cross-strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with extremely fine hairlines and elegant curves.
This font excels in high-impact settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, packaging, invitations, and display typography where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can also work for pull quotes and short passages in editorial design when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, combining classic formality with a fashionable, contemporary sheen. Its dramatic contrast and poised italic movement read as luxurious and intentional, suited to designs that want sophistication and a touch of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast italics—prioritizing elegance, sharp refinement, and a dramatic thick–thin palette for premium display use.
In text, the extreme hairlines and tight, refined detailing emphasize smooth word shapes and a graceful cadence, while also making the design feel best at larger sizes where the thin strokes can remain visually present. The italic forms appear purpose-drawn rather than mechanically slanted, with consistent tapering and carefully shaped terminals that reinforce the font’s couture-like character.
