This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, tapering terminals. Thick verticals pair with very thin hairlines, and many stroke endings sharpen into small triangular or needle-like serifs that read as lightly flared rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and polished, with tight apertures and clean, controlled joins; several letters show energetic, swept entry and exit strokes that add momentum. The overall color on the page is dark and glossy at display sizes, with lively rhythm from the italic slant and the changing stroke width through curves.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine and editorial titling, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster work where its sharp contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when given generous size and spacing to protect the hairlines.
The font conveys an elegant, high-fashion tone—confident, theatrical, and upscale. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italics suggest sophistication and a touch of vintage glamour, making text feel curated and premium rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial italic with dramatic contrast and flared, pointed detailing—aiming for visual luxury and impact rather than quiet text neutrality. Its forms prioritize elegance and motion, creating a distinctive voice for high-end and style-forward applications.
Uppercase forms feel sculpted and formal, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement, especially in letters with extended terminals and diagonals. Numerals follow the same contrasty construction, with pointed details that keep them consistent with the alphabet and best suited to larger settings.
