An elegant serif with a pronounced slanted axis and extreme stroke contrast, pairing hairline connections with bold, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are fine, pointed, and often wedge-like, with terminals that taper to crisp tips, giving many forms a carved, blade-like finish. Bowls and curves are generous and open, while verticals feel tall and statuesque; the overall rhythm is airy with lots of white space. The italic construction reads strongly throughout, and the figures echo the same razor-thin thick–thin modulation and sharp finishing details.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and poster titles where its sharp contrast and italic energy can read clearly. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The face conveys a polished, fashion-forward tone: dramatic but controlled, with a luxurious, editorial sheen. Its sharp terminals and sweeping italic motion create a sense of exclusivity and theatrical elegance, suited to high-end visual storytelling rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic italic serif forms with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals, prioritizing elegance, motion, and silhouette. It aims to deliver a premium, editorial look that stands out in large-format type settings.
In the sample text, the intense contrast and delicate hairlines create sparkle at display sizes, while the slender joins suggest care is needed at small sizes or in low-resolution contexts. The letterforms emphasize gesture and silhouette over uniform texture, producing a distinctive, high-style page color in headlines.
