A sharply modeled italic serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs. Curves are clean and glassy, with a consistent diagonal stress and tapered terminals that often end in fine, pointed beaks. The overall rhythm is narrow and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and a noticeably upright, high-waisted lowercase that keeps counters compact. Numerals follow the same display logic: thin entry strokes, swelling main stems, and delicate finishing flicks that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as fashion and lifestyle editorial design, luxury brand marks, and refined event materials where its hairlines and dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes and short, prominent text blocks where the italic energy adds emphasis while maintaining a classic serif voice.
The tone is polished and high-fashion, projecting luxury and poise through its razor-thin details and controlled swagger. Its pronounced slant and crisp contrast add a theatrical, editorial energy without becoming ornamental or quirky.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic serif for sophisticated display typography—balancing classical serif structure with a sleek, contemporary sharpness. Its narrow, elongated forms and precise hairlines prioritize elegance and impact over small-size robustness.
In text, the italic angle and strong contrast create a lively line texture with pronounced sparkle in the thin strokes. The joining and spacing feel intentionally tight and streamlined, while the sharp terminals and hairlines demand clean printing or high-resolution rendering to avoid breakup.
