A razor-sharp italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairlines. The forms are narrowly proportioned with tall capitals, taut curves, and a vertical, high-contrast rhythm that reads as precise and polished. Serifs are fine and pointed, often ending in wedge-like terminals, while joins stay clean and minimally bracketed. Numerals and capitals keep an airy, high-end sparkle, and the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with long ascenders/descenders that reinforce the italic flow.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and contrast can shine—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant poster titles. It also works well for pull quotes or short passages where a refined, high-impact italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a cool, editorial confidence. Its contrast and sheen create a sense of luxury and drama, while the narrow slant adds motion and finesse rather than casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion italic serif: crisp, high-contrast, and space-efficient, with an emphasis on elegance and visual drama for editorial and branding contexts.
The italic construction feels intentionally sculpted rather than merely slanted, with crisp entry/exit strokes and a consistent, polished stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and figures. The high contrast makes negative space and spacing feel especially important, lending the face a bright, high-gloss texture at display sizes.
