A high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines, weighty main strokes, and a distinctly vertical, crisp structure. Serifs are sharp and fine, often forming pointed, wedge-like terminals that accentuate the slanted rhythm. Curves are taut and polished, with narrow joins and a sculpted feel in letters like S, C, and G; bowls and counters stay relatively compact while stems carry the visual mass. The lowercase is lively and slightly calligraphic in construction, with a single-storey a and g and long, tapering extenders that create a flowing, upscale texture in text.
Best suited for fashion and lifestyle editorial work, magazine headlines, luxury branding, invitations, and display typography where high contrast can be shown clearly. It can work for short passages at larger sizes, but its fine hairlines and sharp details make it most compelling in titles, pull quotes, and refined typographic accents.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a strong runway/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and sleek italic movement suggest sophistication, glamour, and formality rather than casual readability.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast italic letterforms—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and dramatic stroke modulation for premium display settings.
The design’s hairlines and sharp terminals create a sparkling, high-definition look that rewards generous sizes and clean reproduction. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic cadence, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that keep the set visually cohesive.
