A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms show sweeping, calligraphic curves paired with sharp wedge-like entries and thin, refined serifs, creating a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Stems and bowls alternate between dense, dark main strokes and extremely fine connecting hairlines, while diagonals and joins stay clean and taut. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in rhythm, with clear italic construction across both upper- and lowercase and noticeable variation in glyph widths across the set.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, and premium packaging where high contrast can be showcased. It works well for short bursts of text—titles, pull quotes, and logotypes—especially at larger sizes and with ample spacing to protect the hairlines and fine details.
The font projects an upscale, runway-to-editorial sensibility: polished, dramatic, and intentionally attention-grabbing. Its sharp contrast and elegant italic motion suggest refinement and confidence, with a slightly theatrical flair suited to display-led typography.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion italic serif voice—combining classical contrast with sharp, contemporary refinement for impactful typographic statements. Its consistent contrast model and emphatic italic slant suggest it was drawn to elevate hierarchy and add sophistication in editorial and brand contexts.
Uppercase forms read with strong presence and crisp silhouettes, while the lowercase introduces more flowing movement and stylized terminals (notably in letters like a, f, g, j, and y). Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with delicate thins that add sophistication but can become visually fragile at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs.
