A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant, crisp hairline serifs, and strongly tapered strokes. Curves show vertical stress with sharp transitions from thick to thin, creating a lively, glossy rhythm across words. Capitals are relatively wide and stately with long, thin entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms are compact with clear counters and a smooth, calligraphic flow. Numerals follow the same contrast model, combining sturdy main strokes with delicate terminals for a polished, print-ready look.
Best suited to headlines and short text where contrast and italic motion can read clearly—magazine mastheads, fashion or beauty branding, campaign posters, and high-end packaging. It can also work well for formal invitations and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the fine hairlines stay crisp.
The overall tone is refined and upscale, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward voice. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic movement suggest sophistication and a touch of theatricality, making it feel formal and curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-fashion serif italic for display typography, emphasizing sharp contrast, clean hairlines, and a confident slant to create a premium editorial presence.
Spacing appears generous enough for display use, letting the hairlines breathe while the heavy strokes anchor the texture. The italics are assertive rather than subtle, with several letters showing distinctive swooping terminals and sharp beak-like details that heighten the sense of motion.
