This typeface is a strongly slanted, high-contrast design with thin hairlines and fuller main strokes that create a crisp, shimmering rhythm. Letterforms lean on smooth, rounded bowls paired with sharply tapered terminals, giving many strokes a drawn, pen-like finish. Proportions feel slightly condensed and high-waisted in places, with tight apertures and clean, uncluttered counters. The numerals share the same contrasty, italicized construction, with narrow joins and delicate curves that keep the overall color light and upscale.
It’s well-suited to editorial headlines, fashion branding, magazine covers, pull quotes, and other display settings where contrast and motion are assets. It can work for short to medium text in refined layouts when set large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, balancing sophistication with a bit of theatrical flair. Its sharp, tapering details and pronounced contrast evoke fashion and editorial typography, with a confident, expressive slant that reads as modern-classic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic voice with dramatic contrast and crisp finishing, prioritizing elegance and visual momentum in display and editorial contexts.
In text, the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs/terminals can appear very fine, especially around diagonals and crossings, which heightens elegance but also makes spacing and size choices feel more critical. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping long lines maintain a cohesive, flowing texture.
