A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes. Letterforms show a pronounced forward slant and a vertical-stress feel, with crisp, tapered terminals and delicate, unbracketed serifs that read as knife-sharp at display sizes. Proportions are lively and somewhat variable, with narrow joins, tight counters, and energetic diagonals; the lowercase includes calligraphic gestures and occasional swashy turns (notably in f, g, j, y, and z). Numerals echo the same contrast and curvature, with elegant, fashion-style shaping and fine finishing details.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty mastheads, luxury branding, and high-end packaging. It also works well for short editorial pull quotes and titling where a refined, high-contrast italic voice is desired.
The tone is poised and upscale, combining runway-style glamour with classical polish. Its dramatic contrast and italic motion convey elegance, sophistication, and a slightly theatrical flair suited to headline-led design.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture interpretation of classic high-contrast italics: maximizing elegance through extreme thick–thin modulation, crisp serif finishing, and fluid, calligraphic movement for impactful display use.
In text settings, the thin connectors and hairlines create a sparkling texture with strong rhythm, while the sharp serifs and steep contrast increase the sense of precision. The design favors larger sizes where the delicate strokes and tapered entry/exit marks can remain clear.
