A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairlines that taper to needle-like terminals. The forms show a predominantly vertical stress, with long, clean main stems contrasted by extremely fine connecting strokes. Serifs are minimal and crisp, often resolving as thin wedges or pointed finishes rather than soft, bracketed joins. Counters are compact and elegant, and the overall rhythm is tight and steeply angled, producing a sleek, couture-like silhouette in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for display typography where its fine hairlines and dramatic modulation can be appreciated—editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format posters. It performs especially well in short lines, titles, and pull quotes where the italic energy and sharp detailing read as intentional and upscale.
The font projects a polished, high-fashion mood with a dramatic, high-glamour sparkle. Its razor-thin details and steep italic movement feel sophisticated and contemporary, while still carrying classic luxury cues associated with premium editorial typography.
The design intent appears focused on delivering an elegant, high-contrast italic for premium, style-forward communication. It prioritizes dramatic refinement and a clean, vertical-stress structure to create an immediate sense of luxury and editorial authority in display settings.
In the grid, several glyphs show exaggerated teardrop or ball-like terminals (notably in figures and some lowercase), adding a slightly calligraphic accent to an otherwise razor-cut, modern contrast style. The sample text emphasizes how the thin strokes can visually recede at smaller sizes, while large settings deliver striking, poster-like contrast and a crisp, sculptural presence.
