A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely thin hairlines set against heavy main strokes. The serifing is refined and sharp, with needle-like terminals and clean, unbracketed joins that keep the silhouette crisp at display sizes. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with lively, calligraphic modulation; curves on C/G/S and the figures show strong thick–thin rhythm, while diagonals (V/W/X) are taut and precise. Lowercase has a noticeably compact x-height with elegant ascenders and a fluid italic construction that creates a fast, slanted texture across words.
Well suited to display typography where contrast and italic movement are assets: magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and large pull quotes. It can also be effective for short, high-impact headlines and numerals in posters or invitations, where its hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a premium, fashion-forward sensibility. Its sweeping italic momentum and razor hairlines add theatrical elegance, while the strict contrast and crisp detailing lend a formal, editorial authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern Didone-like elegance in an assertive italic voice, emphasizing strong thick–thin drama and crisp detailing for high-impact display use. Its compact lowercase and refined terminals prioritize sophistication and visual tension over utilitarian neutrality.
In text settings, the energetic slant and compact lowercase create a dense, stylish color that favors larger sizes. Very fine strokes and delicate serifs suggest it will look best when printing or rendering conditions can preserve hairlines, especially in all-caps or numerals where the contrast is most striking.
