A sharply slanted italic with extremely thin hairlines and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into needle-like terminals and occasional blade-like points, giving letters a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are drawn with clean, oval-driven geometry, while verticals and diagonals often swell and then snap back to fine exits. Spacing feels airy and the overall color is bright, with narrow joins and delicate cross-strokes that emphasize the high-contrast rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its high-contrast italic character can be showcased. It also works well for premium packaging and elegant poster typography, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial drama. Its razor-thin details and sweeping italics convey sophistication and a fashion-forward, high-end sensibility rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and precise, razor-like finishing. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact through refined curves, sharp terminals, and a bright, airy texture.
Uppercase forms lean toward graceful, display-like proportions with generous bowls and sharp entry strokes, while the lowercase keeps a smooth, flowing cadence suited to longer phrases at larger sizes. Numerals and punctuation adopt the same hairline accents and pointed terminals, reinforcing a cohesive, refined texture.
