This typeface is a slanted serif with extremely fine hairlines paired with swelling, tapered strokes, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Proportions are tall and tightly set, with long ascenders/descenders and a narrow overall footprint. Serifs are delicate and bracketed, often finishing in sharp points or thin wedges, while joins and terminals show a calligraphic, pen-like modulation. The lowercase is fluid and compact with looped forms (notably in g and y) and a single-storey a, and the figures follow the same lean, with light, airy counters and pronounced stroke contrast.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cover lines, pull quotes, and elegant invitations. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, especially where a sophisticated, airy texture is desired.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with a sleek editorial glamour. Its sharp contrast and narrow stance feel formal and a bit dramatic, evoking luxury print and refined literary titling rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic italic serif writing, emphasizing elegance through narrow proportions and striking contrast. It aims to provide an upscale, editorial voice that feels precise, refined, and visually dynamic in display settings.
In running text the slant and tight widths create a fast, vertical texture, with thin cross-strokes and hairline serifs becoming especially prominent. The design reads cleanly at larger sizes where its delicate details and pointed terminals have room to breathe.
