A sharply inclined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and an overall narrow footprint. Strokes move from hairline thins to crisp, darker verticals, finishing in tapered, flared endings rather than heavy bracketed serifs. The letterforms are tall and wiry with tight internal spacing, pointed terminals, and a rhythmic, calligraphic flow. Numerals follow the same sleek construction, with slender diagonals and fine hairlines that emphasize a delicate, high-fashion texture in text.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, and refined poster or packaging typography. It can also work for short subheads or deck text where a sleek, high-contrast italic voice is desired, especially at comfortable sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The font projects sophistication and drama, balancing precision with a handwritten, couture-like gesture. Its narrow, high-contrast rhythm feels luxurious and editorial, lending an upscale tone that reads as confident and curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast italic with a narrow, space-saving stance and a distinctive flared finish. It aims for a boutique editorial feel—expressive and refined—prioritizing style and rhythm over neutrality.
In the sample text, the steep slant and contrast create a lively word shape and strong vertical cadence, especially in capitals. The fine hairlines and tapered joins contribute to an airy page color, while the flared stroke endings add a distinctive, slightly calligraphic signature.
