A sharply contrasted italic serif with tall proportions and a compact, economical set width. The design features strong verticals paired with extremely fine hairlines and delicate, pointed serifs, producing a crisp, high-fashion rhythm across text. Curves are taut and clean, with vertical stress evident in rounded forms; joins stay neat and minimally bracketed. The italic slant is assertive and consistent, with lively entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like terminals (notably in forms such as Q, y, and 3) that add a calligraphic snap without becoming ornate.
This face excels in display and headline settings where its contrast and italic momentum can read as intentional style—magazine titling, luxury and fashion identity, and high-end packaging accents. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads, especially when set with generous tracking and leading to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting luxury and editorial authority. Its razor-thin hairlines and steep italic angle feel stylish and performative, while the restrained detailing keeps it composed rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast italic suited to sophisticated editorial and branding contexts, emphasizing sharp refinement, speed, and visual glamour through hairline detailing and disciplined vertical structure.
In the samples, the thicks hold the line confidently while the thins recede to hairlines, creating a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes. Numerals show the same contrast logic, with some figures featuring more flourish than others, giving mixed text a slightly expressive, display-leaning character.
