A sharply modeled italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a taut, vertical rhythm. Hairline joins and thin connecting strokes contrast with fuller downstrokes, while wedge-like, finely bracketed serifs and tapered terminals keep the color light and incisive. The proportions are extremely condensed, with tall ascenders and a compact footprint that stacks smoothly in text. Curves are drawn with a calligraphic sweep, and counters stay relatively open for the width, giving the face a crisp, high-fashion silhouette.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, and brand identities that benefit from an upscale, sharp italic presence. It can also serve for short display lines on packaging or invitations where its refined contrast and condensed rhythm add sophistication; for extended small text, generous sizing and spacing help preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a polished editorial feel with a touch of drama. Its narrow, slanted forms and razor-thin details read as sophisticated and stylish rather than casual, suggesting a premium, curated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif foundation pushed toward a modern, fashion-forward italic: condensed proportions, clean hairlines, and crisp serif finishing that emphasize elegance and speed. It prioritizes a distinctive, premium texture and a graceful calligraphic flow in both headline and supporting editorial roles.
Capitals show strong italic construction with sharp entry/exit strokes and sculpted curves, while the lowercase maintains a consistent diagonal stress and lively movement. Numerals appear similarly narrow and elegant, matching the text’s refined contrast and delicate finishing.
