A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The curves show a vertical, modern stress, while joins and terminals stay clean and sharply cut, giving the face a polished, engraved-like finish. Proportions feel slightly high-waisted with narrow internal counters and lively width variation from glyph to glyph, creating an elegant, forward-leaning rhythm. The italic construction is calligraphic in flow but modern in detailing, with long, confident strokes and delicate serifs that remain controlled rather than swoopy.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline detail and contrast can shine—magazine titles, fashion and luxury branding, elegant packaging, and high-end promotional materials. It can work for short pull quotes or lead-ins, but the finest strokes suggest using generous sizes and comfortable spacing for sustained reading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, balancing refinement with a sense of motion. It reads as fashion-forward and premium, suggesting editorial authority and formal elegance more than warmth or casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion italic voice: crisp, high-contrast letterforms that feel premium and dramatic while maintaining disciplined structure and consistent rhythm in running display text.
In the samples, the thinnest strokes become extremely fine, especially in diagonals and curved connections, which heightens the sparkle at display sizes. Figures share the same elegant contrast and slanted stance, supporting cohesive typographic color in mixed text.
