A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin transitions that read as crisp and glossy on the page. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with a mix of fine terminals and subtly bracketed joins that soften some stress points while keeping the overall drawing taut. The italic construction is assertive, with flowing entry/exit strokes, tapered finishes, and a lively rhythm; counters are relatively open and the curves feel polished rather than rough. Uppercase forms are tall and dignified, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement and a slightly varied texture across the alphabet; numerals follow the same contrasty, display-forward logic with distinctive curves and angled stress.
Best suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, fashion branding, and other contexts where a high-contrast italic can provide emphasis and elegance. It works particularly well for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text passages where its sharp hairlines and rhythmic slant can be appreciated.
The overall tone is upscale and poised, evoking fashion and editorial typography where sheen, contrast, and italic energy signal sophistication. It feels classic and cultured rather than casual, with a dramatic, attention-getting presence that still maintains refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, high-contrast italic that brings immediacy and polish to display and editorial settings. Its balance of crisp hairlines, controlled curves, and energetic italic cadence suggests an emphasis on elegance and expressive emphasis over utilitarian body-text neutrality.
In continuous text the face creates a strong diagonal momentum and a sparkling texture from the repeated hairlines; this can look luxurious at comfortable sizes but becomes more demanding as sizes shrink. Letterforms with long curves and thin connecting strokes contribute to an expressive, slightly theatrical italic voice without tipping into novelty.
