A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The forms are compact and tall, with tapered verticals, bracketed serifs, and sharp, clean terminals that keep the outlines feeling precise. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is brisk, with an overall narrow set that emphasizes verticality. Lowercase shows a smooth italic construction with lively curves, modest entry/exit strokes, and occasional looped descenders that add a hint of flourish without becoming ornate.
Well-suited to magazine typography, fashion branding, and other editorial contexts where a sleek, high-contrast italic can deliver a premium voice. It can also serve effectively in short headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, where its compact, upright-leaning rhythm helps maintain a crisp, luxurious texture.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, combining traditional bookish authority with a fashion-forward, editorial sharpness. Its contrast and steep slant add drama and momentum, giving text a sense of sophistication and urgency rather than casual warmth.
Designed to provide a contemporary, high-style take on the conventional serif italic: compact, contrasty, and expressive while remaining disciplined enough for serious typographic work. The intent appears to balance readability with visual glamour, offering a refined italic voice for both display emphasis and elegant text settings.
Capitals read as stately and controlled, while the lowercase carries more movement, creating a clear hierarchy for mixed-case typography. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, appearing refined and slightly calligraphic, which suits typographic settings where elegance matters more than utilitarian neutrality.
