A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main strokes, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and delicate, with sharp, tapered entry/exit strokes that give many forms a blade-like finish. The italic construction is lively and calligraphic: capitals show sweeping curves and angled axes, while lowercase has compact, slightly narrow bowls and energetic joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast model, combining sturdy stems with thread-thin cross strokes and terminals for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and premium brand moments. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging copy when printed well and given enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, balancing precision with a sense of motion. It reads as fashion-led and cultured, projecting sophistication and a slightly flamboyant, high-style confidence.
Designed to deliver a modern high-fashion italic voice with striking contrast and refined detailing, prioritizing elegance and impact over neutral text durability. The intent appears to be a sophisticated display italic that adds motion, sheen, and authority to prominent typography.
In text settings, the heavy-thin transitions create a sparkling rhythm and strong line-to-line pattern, with italics that feel intentionally expressive rather than purely utilitarian. The ampersand and curved letters (C, G, S, Q) emphasize the dramatic swoop and razor-fine finishing typical of couture editorial typography.
