A refined italic serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, delicate hairlines. The letterforms are tall and tightly set, with a pronounced rightward slant and strong vertical stress that keeps bowls and stems feeling upright despite the italic angle. Serifs are sharp and clean, with minimal bracketing, and the overall rhythm is driven by long ascenders and descenders plus narrow internal counters. Curves transition quickly into thin terminals, giving a precise, calligraphic snap without becoming script-like.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, lookbooks, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes where its contrast and narrow rhythm are allowed to breathe with generous leading and careful size selection.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion tone—luxurious and editorial, with a poised formality. Its dramatic contrast and slender proportions feel sophisticated and slightly theatrical, suited to contexts where delicacy and prestige are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast italic serif: maximizing elegance and verticality while maintaining a clean, modern finish. Its proportions and stroke logic prioritize visual impact and sophistication over utilitarian, long-form readability.
In the samples, the tight counters and fine joins create a strong sparkle at text sizes, while the italic slant adds motion and emphasis. Numerals follow the same contrasted logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with very fine connecting hairlines for a consistent, couture-like texture.
