A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, tapered main strokes. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often resolving into fine points, giving the letterforms a cut, chiseled finish rather than bracketed warmth. Curves are narrow and tightly drawn, with pronounced swelling into thick strokes and quick transitions back to hairlines; counters feel compact and the overall rhythm is brisk and forward-leaning. Uppercase forms are tall and stately, while the lowercase shows a lively italic construction with single-storey shapes and delicate entry/exit terminals.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, packaging, and poster typography where its contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short, prominent text blocks and titling, especially on high-resolution output where the hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting luxury and editorial sophistication. Its steep slant and extreme contrast add a sense of speed and attitude, while the crisp serifs keep it poised and formal. The result feels modern-classic: fashionable, assertive, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic serif voice—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and striking stroke contrast for attention-grabbing typography. Its construction suggests a focus on dramatic emphasis and refined editorial presence rather than utilitarian, small-size reading.
In text, the thin connections and sharp terminals create a sparkling texture that reads best with ample size and comfortable leading. Figures follow the same contrast-driven logic, with slender hairlines and tapered joins that visually match the capitals.
