A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and weighty main strokes. Serifs are fine and sharp, with minimal bracketing and a crisp, cut-in feel at joins and terminals. The italic slant is elegant rather than hurried, pairing tall capitals with relatively compact lowercase proportions and tight, controlled curves. Overall rhythm is lively and calligraphic in motion while remaining clean and sharply engineered in outline.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and elegant advertising. It can work for short pull quotes or prominent subheads where its high-contrast details and italic energy can be appreciated without being lost.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a sense of drama created by the extreme thick–thin modulation. It reads as poised and formal, with an expressive flair suited to premium branding and sophisticated headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs—combining refined hairlines and vertical stress with a confident, editorial presence for premium display use.
Capitals appear slightly narrow and towering, which amplifies the verticality typical of high-contrast designs. Numerals mirror the same contrast and finesse, with delicate hairline details that will reward generous sizing and careful reproduction. The texture in paragraph setting is bright and sparkling, with strong emphasis on vertical strokes and crisp entry/exit strokes.
