A sharply inclined, high-fashion serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs. The construction reads as calligraphic but controlled: heavy, tapered main strokes are paired with razor-thin connecting strokes, producing a crisp, glossy texture. Terminals are often pointed or delicately rounded, with subtle bracketing into serifs and occasional teardrop-like finishes in the lowercase. Proportions lean tall and slightly narrow, with a relatively modest x-height and generous ascender/descender presence; spacing feels lively and slightly irregular in a way that reinforces the italic rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same high-contrast language, with stylized curves and fine entry/exit strokes that prioritize elegance over robustness at small sizes.
Best suited for magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and refined invitations or event materials. It also works well for short passages or pull quotes where its italic flow and contrast can shine, especially in high-resolution print or well-rendered digital environments.
The font conveys couture polish and editorial sophistication, with a sense of drama created by its extreme contrast and sweeping italic movement. It feels classic and upscale, suited to contexts where a luxurious, curated tone is desired rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, editorial take on classic high-contrast serif italics—combining a polished, premium silhouette with calligraphic nuance for expressive display typography.
Several lowercase forms show expressive, calligraphy-derived details (notably in letters like a, f, g, j, y), which add personality in display settings. The overall color on the page is bright and crisp, but the very thin hairlines suggest it will be most dependable when reproduction quality is high and sizes are not too small.
