A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. The design pairs heavy main strokes with extremely fine hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs, giving a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are taut and glossy, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that often finish in small beak-like flicks; several letters show subtle swash behavior (notably in forms like J, Q, f, g, y, and z). Proportions lean generously wide with lively, variable spacing in display sizes, and the figures are similarly stylized with curled entries and exits.
Best suited to display typography such as editorial headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, brand marks, event posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short, punchy subheads or pull quotes where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated without sacrificing clarity.
The font projects couture elegance and stage-ready drama—confident, luxurious, and slightly flamboyant. Its italic motion and razor-thin details suggest sophistication and spectacle rather than restraint, making it feel at home in fashion-forward, high-impact settings.
This appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on the classic high-contrast serif italic: dramatic stroke contrast, sharp serifs, and expressive terminals aimed at impactful display use. The goal is to balance refinement with personality, offering an italic voice that feels luxurious and attention-commanding.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as delicate and refined, while at smaller sizes the extreme contrast and fine serifs may demand generous size, tracking, and good reproduction conditions. The letterforms emphasize character over neutrality, with distinctive curls and hooks that add personality to both caps and lowercase.
