A sharply slanted serif with very pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, polished finish. Stems transition into tapered, flared endings with small, bracketed serifs, while curves are smooth and controlled, producing a refined, high-waisted rhythm. Letterforms feel compact and sculpted, with narrow apertures and pointed terminals that emphasize directionality in the italic. The numerals and capitals maintain the same crisp contrast and flare behavior, giving the set a consistent, formal texture across display sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, luxury branding, and high-impact poster typography where contrast can be showcased. It can also work for short editorial decks, pull quotes, and premium packaging, especially when given generous size and leading to preserve its delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward air. Its dramatic contrast and purposeful slant convey sophistication and a touch of theatricality, reading as premium, confident, and classically informed rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a refined italic serif with dramatic contrast and distinctive flared stroke endings, balancing classic editorial cues with a more stylized, display-oriented sharpness. Its consistent contrast and crisp terminals suggest an intention to project sophistication and hierarchy in prominent typographic moments.
In text, the strong diagonal stress and sharp joins create lively movement, but the tight counters and fine hairlines make it most comfortable at larger sizes or in well-spaced settings. The italic construction feels integral (not merely slanted), and the flare at stroke endings adds a subtle signature that differentiates it from more standard modern serifs.
