A delicate italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines set against fuller, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are fine and pointed, often resolving into hairline spurs, while joins and curves show a polished, calligraphic modulation. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, giving a forward rhythm and a lively texture; capitals are narrow and poised, and the lowercase shows compact counters with occasional ball terminals and gently cupped entry strokes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast and angled stress, producing a bright, high-end page color at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and italic cadence can read cleanly. It can also work for refined brand marks, packaging, and formal stationery when set with generous spacing and supportive sizes; for long passages, it will prefer comfortable point sizes and high-quality printing or screens.
The overall tone is sophisticated and stylish, combining editorial polish with a slightly theatrical, high-fashion flair. Its sharp contrast and brisk italic movement feel formal and expressive rather than utilitarian, suggesting luxury, culture, and considered typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial take on a classic high-contrast italic serif—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and expressive motion for premium, attention-grabbing typography.
In continuous text the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create sparkling highlights, while the stronger diagonals in letters like v, w, x, and y emphasize the italic momentum. Round forms (o, e, 8, 9) show an elegant, angled stress that reinforces a classic, couture-like personality.
