A high-contrast italic serif with a sharply chiseled, fashion-oriented silhouette. Thick verticals and swelling curves are paired with hairline cross-strokes and fine, pointed serifs that often resolve into tapered wedges rather than blunt brackets. The italic construction shows a steady rightward slant and a fluid, calligraphic stress, with narrow apertures and compact counters that heighten the crisp black-and-white rhythm. Forms feel sculpted and slightly angular in places—especially in diagonals and terminals—while maintaining consistent stroke logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to editorial typography where contrast and elegance are assets: magazine mastheads, fashion lookbooks, luxury branding, and attention-grabbing poster headlines. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads where you want a refined italic voice without relying on ornament.
The overall tone is poised and dramatic, projecting luxury and confidence with a runway/editorial attitude. Its sharp contrast and pointed detailing give it a crisp, high-style presence that reads as modern and glamorous rather than rustic or academic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic serif that maximizes contrast and sharp terminal detail for impact. It prioritizes a stylish, forward-leaning rhythm and a polished silhouette that stands out in display settings.
Capital letters show a strong display temperament with prominent contrast and elegant joining logic, while the lowercase maintains a tight, energetic texture suited to short passages. Numerals follow the same sculpted italic character, with thin hairlines and emphasized thick strokes that keep the set cohesive in headlines.
