A high-fashion italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and razor-fine hairlines that snap into crisp, delicate serifs. Curves are taut and polished, with narrow joins and sharp terminals that keep the rhythm lively while maintaining a controlled, formal silhouette. The italic construction is expressive rather than slanted-as-an-afterthought, showing calligraphic movement in bowls, diagonals, and entry/exit strokes; spacing feels intentionally uneven in a way that supports a dynamic, display-forward texture. Numerals and capitals carry a statuesque presence, while lowercase forms lean fluid and compact, producing a sleek, glossy page color at larger sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, mastheads, and short-form statements where its contrast and hairline detail can print or render cleanly. It also works well for luxury brand identities, beauty and fragrance packaging, and high-end event collateral where an elegant, stylized italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—more runway and magazine than bookish. Its gleaming hairlines and sweeping italic motion convey sophistication, exclusivity, and a slightly romantic drama, making even short phrases feel styled and curated.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern-didone style of glamour through a confident italic stance, emphasizing sheen, precision, and dramatic contrast for impactful display typography.
The design relies on extremely thin connecting strokes and terminals, so clarity is strongest when set with generous size and comfortable line spacing. The italic texture creates a pronounced directional flow, which can be used to add momentum in headlines and pull quotes.
