A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connections that create a crisp, high-fashion texture. The serifs are fine and pointed with a lightly calligraphic, tapered finish, and the overall drawing favors narrow, upright counters with long, flowing diagonals. Curves are smooth and tense, joins are clean, and the rhythm is driven by strong vertical stress and delicate terminals. Uppercase forms feel poised and formal, while the lowercase adds a more handwritten italic flavor through looped descenders and swashy strokes in letters like g, y, and z.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial work, magazine headlines, and luxury branding where high contrast and italic movement can be showcased at larger sizes. It can also work for invitations, packaging, and pull quotes when ample size and clean reproduction preserve the hairlines.
The tone is polished and luxurious, combining classical refinement with a contemporary editorial snap. Its extreme contrast and italic momentum give it a dramatic, couture-like presence that reads as premium and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic serif for sophisticated display typography, balancing formal uppercase structures with a more expressive, calligraphic lowercase. Its emphasis on hairlines, tapered serifs, and dynamic slant suggests a focus on elegance and visual impact in headline-led compositions.
Spacing appears tuned for display: the high contrast and narrow forms pack tightly into lines, producing a sparkling, high-contrast stripe across text. Numerals match the italic slant and contrast, with elegant curves and hairline details that suit typographic settings where refinement matters.
