A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Letterforms lean decisively and carry a smooth, calligraphic flow, with tapered strokes, fine entry/exit points, and small, wedge-like serifs that stay light and crisp. Curves are clean and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm alternates between strong vertical emphasis and delicate connecting hairlines. Numerals and capitals feel sculpted and display-oriented, with the italic slant and contrast doing much of the visual work.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent typographic moments where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding touchpoints such as packaging, lookbooks, event invitations, and high-end product storytelling, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font reads polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic movement evoke fashion, luxury packaging, and classic publishing, balancing sophistication with a touch of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion italic with strong contrast and precise detailing, prioritizing elegance and visual drama for display typography while remaining coherent in short text passages.
In text settings the hairlines become a defining detail, producing a sparkling texture and a lively baseline. The italic construction is consistent across cases, and the design favors crisp silhouettes over softness, which heightens its refined, high-end character.
