A high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly vertical axis and crisp, hairline serifs. Thick main strokes pair with extremely fine joins and terminals, creating a bright, sparkling texture and a pronounced diagonal rhythm. Curves are tightly drawn and slightly compressed, with pointed, tapered endings and occasional calligraphic flicks—most noticeable in letters like J, Q, g, y, and z. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic slant, with elegant, stylized curves and sharp entry/exit strokes that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short, prominent lines where the contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, fashion/editorial identities, beauty or fragrance packaging, and formal invitations where a refined, expressive serif is desired.
The font reads as fashionable and theatrical, with an upscale, magazine-like tone. Its sharp contrast and lively italic movement feel refined and expressive, leaning more toward statement elegance than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif with dramatic contrast and crisp detailing. Its goal is to provide an elegant display voice that feels classic in structure while adding extra flair through pointed terminals and selective swashy forms.
At display sizes the hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining feature, while in dense settings the contrast and tight counters can make the texture feel intense. The more decorative lowercase forms add personality without turning into a fully script-like style, keeping it within a formal serif voice.
