A sharply modulated italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a clear vertical stress. The design pairs dense, glossy-looking main strokes with needle-fine hairlines and crisp, unbracketed serifs, creating a tight, high-end rhythm. Proportions feel compact through the lowercase, with small counters and a relatively low x-height, while capitals are tall and commanding. Terminals often resolve into pointed or teardrop forms, and the overall drawing keeps edges clean and precise for a polished, print-oriented texture.
Best used in headlines, subheads, and short text where its contrast and fine details can shine—magazine layouts, luxury identities, cosmetic and fragrance packaging, and book-cover titling. It can also add a sophisticated accent in pull quotes or paired with a quieter text face for longer reading.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—dramatic and stylish rather than casual. Its steep contrast and sleek italics read as fashion-forward and editorial, with a hint of classical formality suited to premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-fashion, high-contrast italic voice with crisp serif detailing and strong headline presence. It prioritizes elegance and impact through extreme modulation, refined terminals, and authoritative capitals.
The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the heavier stems create strong word shapes at display sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and finish, giving figures a formal, titling-friendly feel.
