A sharp, right-leaning serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and very fine hairlines. Letterforms are built from long, tapered strokes and crisp, wedge-like serifs, producing a bright, sparkling texture at display sizes. The capitals feel tall and poised with sweeping entry strokes, while the lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height and lively, calligraphic curves. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with slender diagonals and delicate terminals that reinforce an airy, precise overall color.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine headlines, elegant packaging, and high-end identity work where a sophisticated italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, book or film titling, and pull quotes when set with generous size and comfortable leading to preserve the fine details.
The font conveys a refined, high-fashion tone—formal, polished, and slightly theatrical. Its steep italic motion and razor-thin details add a sense of speed and sophistication, reading as upscale and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a quintessential high-contrast italic for display typography: dramatic stroke modulation, precise serif finishing, and a compact lowercase that prioritizes elegance and rhythmic movement. Overall it aims to evoke classic refinement with a contemporary, razor-edged clarity.
Contrast creates strong vertical emphasis, while the italic slant and extended strokes introduce a fluid baseline rhythm. Spacing appears tuned for larger settings, where the hairlines remain legible and the sharp joins and terminals can read cleanly; at smaller sizes the thin parts may visually recede.
