A delicate, hairline serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly slanted rhythm. The letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders that create an airy, vertical texture. Serifs are fine and sharp, and many joins resolve into tapered terminals, giving strokes a crisp, cut-like finish. Counters stay relatively open despite the compressed width, and the overall spacing feels measured, favoring elegance over density.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and fine serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments, especially when ample tracking and generous leading are available.
The tone is refined and fashion-forward, with a poised, high-drama elegance typical of luxury editorial typography. Its lightness and sharp detailing feel polished and formal, projecting sophistication rather than warmth. The italic movement adds a sense of speed and glamour.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-style italic voice: extreme refinement, sharp precision, and a narrow, towering silhouette for impactful editorial presence. Its construction prioritizes elegance and contrast-driven sparkle over utilitarian text robustness.
Uppercase forms read as stately and elongated, while lowercase adds a more calligraphic flow, especially in letters with curved entries and looped descenders. Numerals match the same slender, high-contrast construction, keeping the typographic color consistent in mixed settings.
