A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and very fine hairlines. Letterforms show a vertical, elegant stance with long, tapered terminals, crisp serifs, and narrow join points that heighten the sense of precision. Curves are smooth and taut, with a consistent forward slant and a lively rhythm across words; capitals feel airy and sculptural while lowercase forms keep a controlled, slightly condensed flow. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, finely finished treatment with delicate entry/exit strokes.
Best used for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short-form editorial typography where its hairlines and contrast can print or render cleanly. It also fits premium branding, beauty and fashion collateral, and upscale packaging where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is high-end and editorial, projecting sophistication and drama through razor-thin details and sweeping italic motion. It feels suited to luxury contexts where elegance and a sense of crafted refinement are primary cues.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic interpretation of a contrasted serif, emphasizing sleek curves, crisp terminals, and dramatic modulation for maximum visual refinement in display settings.
The design relies on delicate strokes and pointed terminals, creating a bright texture in text but with a distinctly display-forward presence. The italic construction is assertive, with generous diagonals and a calligraphic snap in letters like k, v, w, x, and y.
