A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines. Stems flare into fine, pointed serifs with minimal bracketing, while curved strokes stay smooth and tightly controlled, giving bowls and rounds a crisp, sculpted feel. The italic angle is assertive, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; capitals feel tall and elegant, while lowercase forms stay relatively compact with a conventional x-height and long, tapering ascenders/descenders.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and brand marks where elegance and contrast are central. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck lines, especially when given generous spacing and clean printing conditions.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and energetic slant read as sophisticated and expressive rather than casual, lending a sense of prestige and intentionality to short text.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs: maximizing elegance through sharp hairlines, strong vertical stress, and dynamic widths, while keeping proportions familiar enough for confident, readable display use.
The design relies on extremely fine joins and hairlines, which visually sparkle at larger sizes and in high-resolution reproduction. Numerals and capitals share the same crisp, chiseled detailing, helping headlines and display lines feel consistent across mixed-case and figure settings.
