A high-contrast serif italic with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant, tall capitals, and a crisp, polished silhouette built from sharp joins and tapered strokes. Serifs are delicate and precise, often reading as fine hairline wedges, while many curves finish in pointed or teardrop-like terminals. The rhythm alternates between broad, dark stems and airy counters, giving the set a distinctly elegant, sculpted texture in text.
Best suited to display sizes such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, and premium packaging where high contrast and sharp hairlines can remain crisp. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when ample size, spacing, and high-quality reproduction are available.
The overall tone is elegant and couture-leaning, with a dramatic, high-fashion presence. Its sleek sheen and steep contrast suggest sophistication and ceremony more than casual readability, producing a poised, upscale voice suited to premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics for glamorous editorial and branding work, emphasizing sharp refinement, dramatic modulation, and a confident, upscale cadence.
Uppercase forms are stately and showy, with an especially striking italic sweep on diagonals (e.g., N, V, W, X) and generous, flowing curves (C, G, Q). The lowercase maintains a refined, editorial feel with narrow joins and crisp exits, while figures appear similarly stylized and display-oriented, favoring elegance over utilitarian neutrality.
