A high-contrast italic serif with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. Stems are compact and upright-leaning in proportion, while the italic angle and sharp entry/exit strokes create a fast, slanted rhythm. Serifs read as fine and pointed, often flowing into the strokes with a subtle bracket, and many terminals finish in angled, knife-like cuts. Counters are relatively tight and the overall texture is dark and polished, with a pronounced vertical stress that feels display-forward even at text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and other display settings where its contrast and sharp details can print cleanly. It works well for luxury branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and high-impact pull quotes, especially when paired with a calmer roman or a low-contrast sans for supporting text.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-minded elegance with a dramatic, high-end tone. Its sharp hairlines and energetic italic movement suggest sophistication and a touch of theatricality, reading as confident and premium rather than casual or rustic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-editorial interpretation of classic high-contrast italic serifs, prioritizing drama, elegance, and a polished print-like finish. Its narrow rhythm and razor hairlines suggest an emphasis on statement-making typography rather than long-form, small-size reading.
Capitals show sculpted, high-contrast construction with sweeping diagonals in forms like N, V, W, and X, while curved letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize sleek, tapered joins and tight apertures. Lowercase features a single-storey a and g and a long, descending f, reinforcing a classic italic lineage. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with distinctive curved forms and fine interior joins that reward generous sizing and clean reproduction.
