A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and strong, tapered main strokes. The letters lean noticeably, with smooth, calligraphic modulation and sharp, finely finished terminals. Serifs are delicate and often wedge-like, with flared joins that create a sculpted transition into the stems. Proportions feel slightly narrow in the capitals with pronounced thick–thin rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a readable, moderate x-height and lively, cursive-like movement. Numerals follow the same polished contrast, pairing robust curves with razor-thin connecting strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, invitations, and title treatments where its hairline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when set with enough size and breathing room to preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is refined and luxe, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and italic sweep convey a sense of motion and confidence, reading as polished, aspirational, and slightly theatrical rather than utilitarian.
This font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast italics, prioritizing elegance and expressive stroke modulation. The intent seems focused on creating a distinctive editorial voice with a premium, boutique feel.
The design’s rhythm is driven by crisp diagonals and swelling curves, giving text a glossy, engraved look at display sizes. In longer settings the thin hairlines and sharp joins become a defining texture, so spacing and size will strongly influence perceived smoothness.
