A sharply cut italic serif with extremely pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. Forms are narrow and flowing with a consistent rightward slant, long entry/exit strokes, and delicate, pointed serifs that read as razor-thin wedges. Curves are taut and glossy, counters are open, and the overall rhythm feels fast and continuous, with occasional swash-like strokes and looped descenders in the lowercase that add movement without becoming fully script.
Best suited to display use where its hairlines can reproduce cleanly—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, branding, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short, carefully set text in larger sizes, especially where a refined italic voice is desired.
The tone is polished and high-end, evoking editorial typography and fashion-oriented refinement. Its airy hairlines and decisive contrast suggest sophistication and a slightly dramatic, boutique sensibility rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs, balancing crisp, modern precision with subtle calligraphic flourish. It prioritizes elegance and expressive rhythm, offering an italic voice that feels premium and attention-directing.
Capitals are restrained and sleek, while lowercase shows more personality through extended terminals and occasional flourished joins. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that keep the set visually cohesive.
