A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation: broad, dark main strokes are paired with extremely fine hairlines and needle-like serifs. Forms are narrow and vertically oriented, with a smooth, consistent slant and taut curves that taper into pointed terminals. Joins are clean and crisp, counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm reads as sleek and controlled rather than warm or rustic. Numerals and caps follow the same high-contrast logic, giving a polished, display-forward texture even in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and lookbook typography, pull quotes, and brand statements where its contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or deck text when set with generous size and spacing, while long passages or small sizes may demand extra care due to the very fine hairlines.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial, high-fashion feel. Its dramatic contrast and graceful italic movement convey sophistication and a sense of curated refinement, suited to premium, style-led communications.
The design appears aimed at an elegant, contemporary take on high-contrast italic serifs, prioritizing glamour, sharpness, and display impact. It emphasizes a refined rhythm and sparkling hairlines to create a premium, editorial voice.
Thin strokes become very delicate, creating bright sparkle at larger sizes but a potentially fragile texture in dense settings. The italic construction is assertive, with energetic entry/exit strokes and sharp tapering that heighten the sense of motion.
