A sharply drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Hairline serifs and needle-like entry strokes contrast with sculpted, teardrop-like bowls and brisk, tapered terminals. The rhythm is lively and slightly calligraphic, with narrow proportions and a forward-leaning stance that keeps counters compact and strokes crisp. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined contrast, with delicate joins and thin cross-strokes that emphasize a polished, high-end finish.
Best suited to display settings where its fine hairlines and dramatic modulation can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and pull quotes. In longer passages it can work as a distinctive accent style (e.g., for emphasis or standfirsts) when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, projecting a couture, magazine-forward elegance. Its steep contrast and brisk italic movement feel expressive and refined, lending a sense of exclusivity and ceremony rather than everyday neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a high-fashion, high-contrast italic voice that reads as modern-classic: refined, energetic, and visually sharp. Its narrow, polished forms prioritize elegance and impact in prominent typographic moments.
The design favors sharp detail: thin horizontals and hairlines become especially prominent at larger sizes, while the heavier main strokes maintain a confident silhouette. Curves often end in pointed, flicked terminals, reinforcing a calligraphic impression in continuous text.
