This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced slant and a broad, airy set width. Thick vertical and diagonal stems are paired with extremely thin hairlines and crisp, tapered serifs that often feel blade-like. Curves are drawn with generous, flowing motion, while joins and terminals stay sharp and controlled, giving the letterforms a sculpted, polished rhythm. The lowercase shows lively modulation and sweeping entry/exit strokes, and the numerals carry the same elegant contrast and italic momentum.
Best suited to display applications where its fine hairlines and high contrast can remain clear—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format posters. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or titling where an expressive italic serif is desired, but it will look most confident when given size and spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, balancing refinement with a sense of movement. It reads as fashion-forward and editorial, with a poised, formal voice that still feels dynamic rather than static. The high contrast and slanted stance add a slightly dramatic, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended as a refined, high-impact italic for contemporary editorial and brand settings, combining classical high-contrast serif structure with a more fluid, calligraphic italic movement. Its wide stance and sharp detailing aim to create an upscale impression with strong headline character.
In text, the combination of wide proportions and delicate hairlines creates a bright typographic color with plenty of white space inside counters and between letters. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the design relies on crisp edges and thin strokes to deliver its sophistication—details that become a defining feature at display sizes.
