A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and bold, tapered main strokes. The letterforms lean with a consistent rightward slant and show pronounced diagonal stress, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed, with crisp wedge-like joins and frequent teardrop or ball-like finishing on some lowercase forms. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with long, elegant ascenders and descenders and an overall polished, print-oriented silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display-led editorial uses where the high contrast can shine. It also fits fashion branding, beauty and luxury packaging, invitations, and premium signage or poster work, particularly when set with generous spacing and at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys an upscale, editorial tone—sleek, stylish, and deliberately dramatic. Its stark contrast and italic motion suggest luxury, sophistication, and a classic fashion-magazine sensibility, while the sharp terminals add a confident, contemporary edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion italic serif voice: classic in construction but sharpened for strong visual impact. Its emphasis on contrast, pointed detailing, and energetic slant suggests it was drawn to elevate branding and editorial typography with a refined, dramatic presence.
In continuous text the strong thick–thin modulation creates a distinct texture and sparkle, especially at larger sizes. Numerals match the italic energy and contrast, with thin entry strokes and crisp terminals that keep figures feeling integrated with the letters.
