A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. The forms are compact and tightly set, with narrow proportions, brisk diagonals, and pointed, wedge-like serifs that emphasize directionality. Curves are crisp and clean, terminals often finishing in fine teardrops or slight hooks, and the overall rhythm alternates boldly between heavy stems and delicate connecting strokes, producing a polished, high-contrast texture in words.
Performs best in headlines, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where its contrast and narrow cadence can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits luxury branding, event materials, and packaging accents where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The tone is sophisticated and editorial, suggesting luxury and formality more than everyday utility. Its steep slant and razor-thin details add a dramatic, stylish character that feels suited to fashion and culture contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic impression with dramatic contrast and compact width, prioritizing elegance and typographic flair over neutral, long-form text plainness.
Uppercase shapes read stately and stylized, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement with flowing entry/exit strokes and prominent descenders. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and narrow build, contributing to a cohesive, display-leaning color when set large.
