A sharply contrasted serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The construction leans upright in its stress but is set with a consistent rightward slant, producing a sleek, forward rhythm. Capitals are tall and sculpted with tapered terminals and fine entry strokes, while the lowercase shows compact, flowing forms with tight joins and elegant curves. Numerals and punctuation keep the same high-contrast logic, with delicate hairlines and weighty verticals creating a striking black-and-white texture at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where the extreme contrast can be appreciated—headlines, magazine spreads, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can add a sophisticated accent in short subheads or pull quotes, but will be most effective when given generous size and spacing to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is high-fashion and editorial, pairing refinement with drama. Its razor-thin details and glossy contrast read as luxurious and premium, with a poised, slightly theatrical flair that feels suited to upscale branding and culture-focused layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif italic with a couture sensibility—prioritizing elegance, impact, and sharp typographic color for editorial and brand-led applications.
The italic forms feel purpose-drawn rather than mechanically slanted, with terminals and serifs that emphasize motion and sharpness. The narrow proportions and strong contrast create a dense, shimmering texture in setting, especially in mixed-case lines.
