A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharp, tapering terminals. Strokes move between hairline-thin connectors and fuller verticals, creating a crisp, glossy rhythm. Serifs are delicate and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing on some joins; curves show a calligraphic feel with pointed entry/exit strokes. Proportions are generous and open, with ample spacing and a steady baseline that keeps the thin horizontals and diagonals feeling controlled rather than fragile.
Best suited to magazine-style headlines, deck copy, and brand applications where elegance and contrast are an asset. It can also work for short, prominent text on posters or premium packaging, especially when printed well and given room to breathe.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with the dramatic contrast and italic motion suggesting fashion, culture, and premium editorial settings. It feels expressive but disciplined—more red-carpet elegance than everyday neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: classic letterform foundations sharpened with hairline details and italic energy. Its emphasis seems to be on striking typography and refined atmosphere for display-led composition.
The design leans on long, graceful diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) and fine cross-strokes that give words a shimmering texture at larger sizes. Figures match the same contrast and slant, reading as stylish and display-oriented rather than purely utilitarian.
