A sharply cut italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong diagonal stress. Strokes move from dense, black main stems into very fine hairlines, with small, crisp serifs that often feel blade-like rather than bracketed. Curves are taut and clean, terminals are pointed or tapered, and the overall rhythm is lively due to the italic slant and the pronounced contrast. Uppercase forms feel compact and sculptural, while the lowercase shows more fluid, calligraphic motion, producing an energetic texture in running text.
Best suited to headings, pull quotes, magazine and fashion layouts, and other applications where a refined, high-contrast italic voice is desired. It can work for short passages in high-quality print or large sizes, where the hairlines and sharp serifs remain clear.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone with a distinctly editorial flair. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing read as sophisticated and stylish, lending a sense of luxury and formality while still feeling agile and expressive in italics.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic serif look with strong contrast and crisp finishing, prioritizing elegance and impact. Its proportions and detailing suggest an emphasis on stylish display typography that still retains a conventional text-serif foundation.
The figures and capitals share the same razor-sharp contrast, which heightens sparkle on the page but can make very fine details visually delicate at smaller sizes or on low-resolution outputs. Spacing appears tuned for display-like presence, with letterforms that create noticeable light–dark patterning and a brisk italic cadence.
