A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that create a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Stems are narrow and upright in feel despite the slant, with long, tapered entry strokes and fine, wedge-like serifs that often resolve into needle points. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tight apertures and a slightly high-waisted look in rounded forms; the overall texture alternates between bold main strokes and near-threadline connectors. Uppercase shows sweeping diagonals and refined terminals (notably in forms like A, M, N, V, W), while the lowercase maintains a compact, steady x-height with single-storey a and g and elegant, lightly bracketed transitions.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where elegant contrast and italic motion are desirable. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging, as well as invitations and cultural materials that benefit from a refined, classical tone. For extended reading, it will perform best at comfortable sizes and in well-printed or high-resolution contexts where thin strokes remain clear.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its high-contrast italic posture reads dramatic and poised, lending a sense of couture refinement and classic literary gravitas rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast italic serif that delivers drama and refinement for display and editorial use. Its consistent slant, tapered serifs, and hairline detailing suggest an emphasis on sophistication and visual sparkle over utilitarian robustness.
At text sizes the hairlines can appear delicate, so the design’s character is most evident where contrast and tapered terminals have room to breathe. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, giving mixed-content settings a cohesive, stylish cadence.
