A sharply cut italic serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and pronounced vertical stress. The design pairs dense, blade-like main strokes with very fine hairlines and crisp, unbracketed serifs that often resolve into needle points. Curves are taut and polished, with narrow apertures and sweeping italic entry/exit strokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals feel formal and sculpted, while the lowercase keeps a sleek, contemporary cadence; figures share the same high-contrast, fashion-forward construction.
Best suited to display work where its fine hairlines and dramatic contrast can remain intact—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury identities, invitations, and large-format posters. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or deck lines when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication and a deliberate sense of drama. Its razor-thin details and sweeping italic motion read as upscale and curated, with a couture-like sharpness that feels modern rather than nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion italic with maximum contrast and crisp refinement, prioritizing visual glamour, sharpness, and rhythmic movement for attention-grabbing typography.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing strong forward momentum in text. Hairlines become exceptionally thin at joins and terminals, which heightens sparkle and contrast in large sizes.
