A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main strokes, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing, and the italic construction shows lively entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals. Proportions skew wide with generous spacing, producing an airy rhythm; counters remain open while joins and thins become needle-like at display sizes. Uppercase forms feel elegant and formal, while the lowercase includes a single-storey a and g with flowing, calligraphic movement and a crisp, light touch.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, lookbooks, and premium packaging. It also works well for elegant pull quotes and short subheads where its hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining couture-like elegance with a crisp, modern edge. Its razor-thin details and sweeping italics create a sense of luxury and heightened drama, well suited to sophisticated, attention-commanding typography.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary high-fashion italic serif: maximizing contrast and sharp detailing while keeping proportions wide and rhythmically spaced for upscale editorial impact.
The font’s visual identity depends heavily on the contrast between robust stems and hairline links, so it reads most confidently when given enough size and breathing room. The italic slant is consistent across cases and numerals, and the design favors crisp, pointed detailing over softness or warmth.
