A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered, weighty main strokes. The design leans on pointed, delicate serifs and narrow joins, giving counters a clean, chiseled feel and making diagonals especially prominent. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow with crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows a pronounced italic flow with a modest x-height, generous ascenders, and compact bowls. Numerals follow the same contrasty, slanted construction, with fine entry strokes and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display typography: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, elegant invitations, and pull quotes where the contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes, especially where a refined, classic tone is desired, but its hairlines favor good reproduction conditions.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its dramatic contrast and swift italic rhythm suggest sophistication and a touch of theatrical flair, reading as luxurious rather than utilitarian.
This font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif voice—combining dramatic contrast with precise, pointed detailing to create striking typography for upscale editorial and branding contexts.
Stroke modulation is consistent across letters and figures, producing a bright, sparkling texture in larger sizes. The italic slant is steady and the finishing details—thin cross-strokes, fine curves, and tapered terminals—create a delicate cadence that can feel airy when well-spaced.
