This typeface is a sharply contrasted serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly vertical, hairline-driven construction. Thick stems are narrow and clean, while horizontals, diagonals, and connecting strokes thin down to fine filaments, producing a crisp, high-waisted rhythm. Serifs are small, precise, and largely unbracketed, with tapered terminals that feel engraved rather than brushy. Counters are generous and mostly oval, and the overall texture is airy and bright despite the strong thick–thin jumps; capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic flow with a two-storey “g,” a compact “a,” and a slender, curling “f” and “r.” Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with delicate joins and sharp finishing details.
Best suited to fashion branding, magazine display, and other high-end editorial settings where large sizes can showcase the crisp contrast and delicate hairlines. It also works well for luxury packaging, event materials, and sophisticated headline systems that benefit from an elegant, animated italic voice.
The font reads as luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial confidence and a slightly theatrical edge. Its combination of fine hairlines and disciplined verticality gives it a formal, premium tone, while the italic slant adds motion and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic with a couture sensibility—balancing strict vertical structure and unbracketed serifs with graceful, calligraphic movement for attention-grabbing display typography.
In text, the hairlines and sharp joins create a shimmering, high-definition color that favors larger sizes. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the fine details (especially on diagonals like V/W/X and the tail of Q) emphasize precision and finesse.
