A slender, sharply italic serif with pronounced calligraphic modulation and crisp hairline connections. Letterforms are strongly vertical in their overall build but driven by steep diagonal stress, producing energetic rhythm and bright white interior space. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than bracketed, with long entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that emphasize a sleek, high-fashion silhouette. Counters are narrow and clean, with tall ascenders and descenders that create an airy, elongated texture in setting; figures follow the same thin–thick logic with delicate joins and refined contrast.
Well suited to magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale packaging where elegance and contrast are desired. It also works for short display lines and pulled quotes, especially when paired with a calmer companion face for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with a couture/editorial feel that reads as premium and intentional. Its dramatic contrast and slanted posture add a sense of motion and sophistication, lending a romantic, high-style voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, couture-leaning italic serif that translates calligraphic elegance into a clean display texture. Its narrow, elongated forms and razor-like detailing suggest a focus on sophistication and visual drama for branding and editorial typography.
In text, the strong diagonal emphasis and narrow proportions create a tight, glossy color that rewards generous tracking and careful line spacing. The design’s sharp terminals and thin hairlines make it feel best in controlled, high-resolution contexts where its refinement can remain intact.
