A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines. The forms are broad and confident, with thick, sculpted main strokes that taper sharply into fine serifs and entry/exit strokes. Curves show crisp modulation and a slightly calligraphic sweep, with frequent ball terminals and teardrop-like joins that heighten the sense of motion. Counters are generous and open, while the overall rhythm alternates between weighty black shapes and delicate connecting lines, creating a distinctly crisp, engraved look at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and fine details can render cleanly—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, luxury branding, packaging, and striking poster titles. It can also work for short pull quotes or chapter openers, but the hairlines and energetic italic make it less ideal for long, small-size text.
The font conveys a glamorous, editorial tone—polished, dramatic, and intentionally attention-grabbing. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic energy suggest luxury and performance, balancing refinement with a bold, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-like elegance in a forceful italic, combining classical high-contrast construction with contemporary, graphic black shapes and expressive terminals for maximum display impact.
Uppercase letters lean into elegant, slightly condensed silhouettes with sharp wedge-like serifs and taut curves, while the lowercase introduces more flourish—especially in letters like g, y, and z—through pronounced terminals and lively stroke endings. Numerals follow the same display logic, with strong thick–thin modulation and stylized curves that favor impact over neutrality.
