A razor-thin, high-contrast italic serif with hairline joins and crisp, needle-like terminals. The rhythm is distinctly calligraphic: strokes swell into sharp wedges and then collapse to fine hairlines, with delicate, asymmetric serifs that feel cut rather than bracketed. Uppercase forms are tall and poised, with ample internal white space (notably in O/Q) and a controlled forward slant. Lowercase shows lively entry strokes and slender, slightly high-waisted curves; counters remain open, and the overall texture stays airy and glossy rather than dense.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, luxury branding, and large-format statements where the hairlines can remain intact. It works especially well for short to medium text blocks in editorial contexts, pull quotes, and refined titling when paired with ample leading and clean, restrained supporting type.
The font projects a polished, couture sensibility—cool, luxurious, and performance-oriented. Its dramatic contrast and italic flow add a sense of speed and sophistication, evoking high-end editorial typography and modern classicism rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on classic high-contrast italics—maximizing elegance and drama through extreme stroke modulation, sharp terminals, and a fluid, calligraphic slant. It prioritizes visual finesse and editorial presence over neutral, everyday text texture.
The numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing sculpted thick strokes with hairline arcs; curved figures (2, 3, 5, 8, 9) emphasize sweeping italic motion. Pointed apexes and sharp exit strokes create a sparkling baseline, while the thin horizontals and joins call for generous sizes and careful reproduction in print or high-resolution screens.
