A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines. The design pairs steep, calligraphic slant with crisp, pointed serifs and sharp terminals, creating a refined, sparkling texture at display sizes. Capitals are narrow and formal with strong thick–thin modulation, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a relatively short x-height, emphasizing ascenders and descenders. Curves are smooth and taut, and joins stay clean and minimally bracketed, reinforcing a precise, cut-from-metal feel.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for upscale packaging and formal printed pieces, especially at larger sizes or with ample spacing to protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and dramatic, evoking fashion mastheads, classic publishing, and upscale branding. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italic rhythm read as poised and cultivated, with a distinctly high-end, ceremonial character.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classical high-contrast serif italics, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and display impact over utilitarian text neutrality.
The italic is expressive with generous entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like cues in letters such as the lowercase g and y. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and delicate horizontals; the overall color can become lively and varied in longer lines due to the strong modulation and narrow forms.
