A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals that read as calligraphic rather than blunt. The forms feel open and slightly condensed in places due to narrow joins and long, sweeping curves, while overall spacing remains measured and even. Numerals and capitals share the same crisp, high-contrast construction, giving the set a consistent, polished texture at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and fashion or beauty branding where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also serve for short-form, high-end applications such as invitations, packaging accents, pull quotes, and section openers where generous size and leading preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is sophisticated and formal, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and graceful italic movement suggest luxury, ceremony, and considered typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion italic voice with crisp serifs and dramatic modulation, prioritizing elegance and movement in display and editorial contexts.
The italic construction is expressive: many letters show flowing entry/exit strokes and gently tensioned curves, creating a lively rhythm across words. The light hairlines and sharp joins make the design feel particularly sensitive to size and reproduction, favoring clean printing or high-resolution screens.
