A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines set against fuller main strokes. Serifs are sharp and clean, with minimal bracketing, and many forms show teardrop/ball terminals and tapered entries that create a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in places, while the italic slant and sweeping curves add width variation and lively movement across words. Numerals and capitals carry the same crisp contrast, with round forms showing tight, bright counters and strong thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion layouts, premium packaging, and refined brand marks. It can work for short pull quotes or brief blocks of text in print when set with comfortable size and spacing to protect the delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, pairing drama with precision. It reads as fashionable and formal, with a poised, editorial voice that suggests premium branding and high-end print.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion italic with strong thick–thin drama and crisp detailing, prioritizing elegance and impact over utilitarian neutrality.
In text settings the fine joins and hairlines can appear delicate, while the heavier downstrokes keep words visually anchored. The italic construction is assertive rather than subtle, giving headlines and short passages a distinctive, stylized texture.
