A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress and hairline connections that sharpen into needle-like terminals. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with long, elegant strokes and finely cut serifs that often feel more like tapered flicks than bracketed feet. The capitals are stately and refined, while the lowercase shows a flowing, calligraphic rhythm with compact bowls, narrow apertures, and a noticeably angled italic axis. Numerals follow the same fashion-leaning construction, mixing thin hairlines with bold main strokes for a crisp, sculpted look.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand moments where a refined, editorial voice is desired. It performs especially well in short-form display typography—titles, section openers, invitations, and premium packaging—where its sharp contrast and italic motion can be given room to breathe.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking fashion publishing and luxury branding. Its sharp contrasts and italic sweep add drama and sophistication, giving text a cultivated, slightly theatrical presence without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward italic serif with maximal elegance: strong thick–thin contrast, crisp terminals, and a controlled calligraphic cadence aimed at high-impact display typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as elegant and precise, but the extreme contrast and fine terminals create a delicate texture that can look brittle when reduced or placed on low-resolution outputs. The italic slant is consistent and energetic, producing strong word-shape and a distinctive, upscale voice in display settings.
