A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic, angled stress, with tapered terminals and crisp joins that create a sleek, sculpted rhythm. Capitals are tall and dignified with sharp, wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase is fluid and slightly narrow, keeping counters relatively tight and verticals emphatic. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted posture, reading as elegant, display-minded figures rather than utilitarian text forms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where contrast and italic movement can shine. It also fits luxury branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, high-fashion voice, especially in larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, combining classic serif formality with a confident, modern edge. The sharp hairlines and steep italic energy add drama and a sense of premium sophistication suited to aspirational branding.
The design appears intended as an elegant italic serif for expressive display typography, emphasizing dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and a smooth calligraphic rhythm to deliver a premium editorial feel.
At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed serifs become a defining feature, giving the design sparkle and a crisp silhouette. The italic slant and strong contrast create an animated texture in paragraphs, with a lively baseline flow and distinct word shapes.
