A slanted serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered entry strokes and sharp, chiseled finishing cuts that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Curves show a distinct diagonal stress, and the overall texture alternates between bold main strokes and delicate connecting hairlines, giving letters a sculpted, high-end look. Proportions feel classical with steady lowercase height and long, elegant extenders, while caps read tall and poised.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where the delicate hairlines can be appreciated. It also fits branding, packaging, and event materials that aim for a luxurious, fashion-forward voice, and can add a refined accent to shorter text passages when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone—confident and dramatic without feeling ornamental. Its sharp contrast and italic flow suggest sophistication associated with fashion and cultural publishing, balancing tradition with a contemporary sheen.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened refinement—using strong contrast, fine serifs, and dynamic stress to create a premium, attention-grabbing texture for display and editorial settings.
In the samples, the italic angle and razor-thin details become a defining feature, especially in larger sizes where the tapered strokes and serif finesse are most visible. Numerals share the same refined contrast and show a slightly calligraphic flavor, reinforcing an editorial, display-oriented texture.
