A sharply angled serif italic with extreme thick–thin modulation and a crisp, polished finish. Hairlines are razor-thin while primary strokes swell quickly, creating a sparkling rhythm and lots of white space in and around letters. Serifs are delicate and pointed, with tapered terminals and a pronounced rightward slant that gives lines a fast, flowing texture. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall color stays airy rather than dense, especially in text.
Best suited to display sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, event invitations, and refined titling. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with generous leading, but it will look most confident when given space.
The font reads as high-end and expressive, pairing classic luxury cues with a modern, editorial snap. Its dramatic contrast and italic motion feel stylish and poised, suggesting sophistication rather than warmth or utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, high-contrast italic for upscale typography, emphasizing elegance, motion, and a distinctive sparkle on the page. Its pointed detailing and disciplined curves aim to communicate premium quality in editorial and branding contexts.
In the samples, spacing feels intentionally open, helping counterbalance the fragility of the hairlines. Numerals and capitals keep the same sharp contrast and pointed detailing, maintaining a consistent, formal tone across sets.
