A slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The design favors tall proportions and tight widths, with long ascenders/descenders and a flowing, right-leaning rhythm. Curves show a largely vertical stress, while joins and terminals taper sharply, creating a clean, glossy texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast pattern, with delicate entry/exit strokes and compact set widths.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and narrow cadence can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, invitations, and short editorial pulls. It can work for brief text passages in large sizes, but is visually optimized for titles and prominent typographic moments.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial sheen. Its sharp contrast and narrow stance add drama and sophistication, suggesting a couture, metropolitan voice rather than a casual or rustic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end italic voice rooted in classic modern serif principles, emphasizing elegance, verticality, and striking contrast for attention-grabbing typography.
The italic construction reads continuous and calligraphically inclined, but remains structured and controlled, producing an even, vertical cadence across lines. At smaller sizes the fine serifs and hairlines may visually soften, while at display sizes the razor-like details become the main character.
