A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and sharply cut serifs. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in their overall footprint but show lively, optically varied widths across letters, giving the texture a subtly uneven, couture rhythm. Capitals are tall and stately with clean joins and crisp terminals, while the lowercase combines a modest x-height with long ascenders and deep, flowing descenders. Curves and diagonals resolve into needle-like entry/exit strokes, and counters stay open despite the contrast, keeping the silhouette clear at display sizes.
This font is best used for display typography such as editorial headlines, fashion layouts, luxury branding, invitations, and poster titles. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set large with ample leading, where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs remain distinct.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a dramatic, magazine-ready sheen. Its italic slant and needle hairlines add a sense of speed and sophistication, reading as luxurious, cultivated, and slightly theatrical rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Didone-style elegance in an italic voice: high contrast, crisp finishing, and a refined, high-fashion rhythm aimed at premium editorial and brand applications.
The numerals and capitals feel especially suited to headline settings, where the contrast and sharp finishing can be fully appreciated. In dense text, the strong thick–thin shifts and fine terminals create a sparkling texture that benefits from generous size and comfortable spacing.
