A sharply contrasted italic serif with extremely fine hairlines and crisp, needle-like serifs. Curves carry a pronounced vertical stress, while stems and entry strokes swell quickly into bold thicks, creating a polished, high-fashion rhythm. The italic angle is consistent and relatively steep, with long, sweeping ascenders/descenders and tapered joins that feel calligraphically informed rather than mechanically slanted. Counters are open and oval, spacing feels airy, and overall proportions lean tall and graceful, with delicate detailing that rewards larger sizes.
Best suited to display contexts where its fine hairlines and crisp serifs can remain intact—magazine and fashion headlines, premium branding, lookbooks, pull quotes, and elegant invitations. It can also work for short editorial subheads and captions when reproduced cleanly and at adequate size.
The tone is luxurious and poised, projecting couture refinement and a slightly dramatic, romantic flair. Its brisk contrast and sharp finishing strokes give it a premium, editorial voice suited to sophisticated, image-led typography rather than utilitarian text.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, couture-leaning italic with classic high-contrast DNA—prioritizing glamour, motion, and typographic sophistication for headline and brand moments. The controlled slant, vertical stress, and razor detailing suggest an emphasis on refined display typography over long-form durability.
Uppercase forms read especially sculptural, with thin cross-strokes and elegant diagonals; the italic construction is evident across both cases rather than appearing as a simple oblique. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with curled terminals and a display-like cadence that stands out in headlines.
