This is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines against strong main strokes. The letterforms are narrow and tall with a brisk, forward slant, giving the texture a tightly spaced, elegant rhythm even at larger sizes. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing and tapered terminals that feel cut and precise rather than soft. Curves and diagonals show crisp transitions, and the overall construction reads as display-oriented rather than text-heavy.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and logotype-style wordmarks where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It fits editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, event posters, and title treatments. For extended reading or small sizes, the extreme stroke contrast suggests using it sparingly and with sufficient size and reproduction quality.
The font conveys a polished, fashion-forward tone with a theatrical, upscale edge. Its steep contrast and sleek italic motion feel editorial and luxurious, evoking magazine mastheads, perfume packaging, and high-end branding. The overall impression is confident and sophisticated, with a touch of dramatic flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual impact. Its narrow, high-fashion proportions and refined detailing aim to create striking headlines and brand signatures with a distinctly premium character.
In the samples, the hairlines and joins become especially prominent, creating sparkle and sharp highlights across words. The numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and slanted momentum, supporting cohesive titling and short statements. The narrow proportions help long phrases feel compact while still looking formal and elevated.
