A sharply slanted serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed terminals and finely tapered joins that create a polished, high-fashion rhythm. Capitals feel expansive and stately, while the lowercase is more fluid and calligraphic, with teardrop-like apertures and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing bold vertical stress with delicate connecting strokes for a crisp, print-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and other applications where elegance and contrast are central. It can also work for short lead-ins or pull quotes, especially in spacious layouts that let the italic forms and hairline details breathe.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, leaning toward runway/editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian text. Its strong contrast and sweeping italic motion give it a confident, theatrical presence that reads as premium and cultivated.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, editorial italic serif with a couture feel—prioritizing refined contrast, sharp finishing, and expressive word shapes for high-impact typography.
The italic angle is assertive and consistent, helping words form lively, continuous shapes in setting. The thin strokes approach hairline territory, so the design reads cleanest when there is sufficient size or output quality to preserve the finest details.
