A sharply inclined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, polished drawing. Stems are tall and tightly proportioned, while hairlines and serifs reduce to needle-like terminals that create a delicate sparkle along the baseline and cap line. Curves are smooth and controlled with a consistent, vertical-leaning stress, and joins stay clean rather than brushy. The overall rhythm is compact and linear, with an airy interior in rounded forms and a tight, high-fashion silhouette in capitals and figures.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and high-end brand systems where elegance and contrast are the priority. It can also work for upscale packaging and invitations when set with ample size and breathing room to preserve its fine details.
The tone is chic and formal, with a runway/editorial sensibility driven by its razor-thin details and dramatic contrast. It feels poised and luxe, lending a sense of exclusivity and ceremony to short text. The italic slant adds motion and sophistication rather than casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-leaning italic serif for sophisticated display work, emphasizing tall proportions, crisp hairlines, and a controlled, high-contrast texture. Its refined finishing suggests a focus on elegance and visual impact over utilitarian text ruggedness.
Caps read particularly statuesque and sleek, and the numerals match the same refined contrast and sharp finishing. The hairline elements are visually prominent, so the face rewards generous sizes and careful spacing where its fine terminals can remain distinct.
