A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. The forms show a strong rightward slant, vertical-leaning stress in the round letters, and sharply tapered terminals that read as crisp, blade-like details rather than soft joins. Serifs are fine and precise, with a clean, polished finish; curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm feels airy due to the light connective strokes. Uppercase proportions are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with distinctly elegant ascenders and descenders that add sweep and movement in text.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and sharp terminals can remain crisp—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and refined event materials such as invitations. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set large with comfortable leading and careful color control.
The tone is sophisticated and dressy, with a runway/editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and italic flow convey luxury, refinement, and a slightly theatrical sense of glamour, while still feeling classical and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast italic voice for premium, style-forward typography—prioritizing elegance, movement, and a striking thick–thin silhouette over utilitarian robustness at small sizes.
In running text the spacing and slanted rhythm produce a lively, flowing texture, with distinctive italic character in letters like a, e, g, and y. Numerals and capitals keep the same delicate hairline detailing, giving the whole set a cohesive, high-fashion sheen that benefits from generous size and clean printing conditions.
