A delicate, high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and extremely fine hairlines. The letterforms show vertical emphasis with sharp, tapered serifs and crisp terminals, creating a bright, airy texture. Curves are smooth and expansive, counters are open, and the overall rhythm is driven by thin connecting strokes against stronger main stems. Spacing feels generous and the wide proportions give the forms a leisurely, luxurious pace in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, deck copy, magazine spreads, luxury branding, and refined logotype work where the hairline detailing can be preserved. It can also serve well for pull quotes or short passages at generous sizes, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The tone is poised and upscale, evoking fashion mastheads and contemporary editorial typography. Its razor-thin details and italic flow add a sense of sophistication and drama, reading more like curated display typography than utilitarian text.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, fashion-forward interpretation of a high-contrast serif italic—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and a distinctive editorial voice over ruggedness or small-size neutrality.
The italic construction is noticeable across capitals and lowercase, with many strokes ending in fine, pointed terminals that can feel almost engraved. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender diagonals and delicate curves that visually match the alphabet.
