A slender, high-contrast serif italic with tall proportions and a taut, vertical rhythm. Strokes shift quickly from hairline to thick, with crisp, bracketed serifs and pointed, calligraphic terminals that give many letters a tapered finish. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, and spacing feels airy, helping the delicate thins stay distinct. Curves are smooth and slightly theatrical, with long ascenders/descenders and narrow counters that emphasize a streamlined silhouette.
Best suited to display and editorial use where size and printing quality can preserve the hairline details—magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury identity work, and elegant packaging. It can work for short text passages when set generously with comfortable leading and careful contrast management.
The tone is poised and upscale, combining editorial polish with a slightly dramatic, couture-like flair. Its sharp transitions and elongated forms read as intentional and stylish rather than neutral, lending a sense of sophistication and occasion.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, refined italic voice within a conventional serif framework, prioritizing elegance and contrast over neutrality. Its narrow, elongated construction and crisp terminals suggest an intention to create a distinctive, high-end texture for headlines and sophisticated typographic settings.
In the samples, the finest hairlines and narrow joins become a defining feature, especially in diagonals and curved strokes. Numerals follow the same delicate contrast and slanted posture, reinforcing a cohesive, fashion-oriented texture across mixed-case and figure-heavy settings.
