A sharply slanted serif with extremely pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. Curves are smooth and polished, with delicate terminals and fine, pointed serifs that read as lightly bracketed and often wedge-like. Proportions feel tall and airy, with tight inner counters in letters like a/e and expansive bowls in C/G/O, producing a crisp, high-end rhythm. The figures mirror the same contrast and diagonal stress, giving numerals an equally graceful, fashion-oriented presence.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, and refined print applications where contrast and elegance are assets. It also works well for invitations, titles, and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated. In longer passages it will read as stylish and elevated, but its delicacy favors well-controlled reproduction.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, projecting a runway/editorial sensibility with a slightly theatrical edge. Its hairline detailing and sweeping italic forms suggest sophistication and precision rather than warmth or ruggedness. The impression is modern-classic: traditional serif cues pushed toward a glossy, high-contrast statement.
This design appears intended to deliver an upscale, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast italic serif, emphasizing graceful movement, sharp detail, and a premium feel. The consistent diagonal stress and disciplined hairline work suggest a font aimed at display and editorial typography that needs a distinctive, polished voice.
Uppercase forms show a refined, display-minded construction with narrow hairlines and strong vertical stems, while lowercase italics introduce more calligraphic motion (notably in a, f, g, and y) that enhances flow in continuous text. Spacing appears carefully balanced for an italic, with a consistent forward pull and clean silhouette. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample setting reinforce the same slender, controlled line quality.
