A sharply angled, italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals and serifs. The letterforms are narrow and tall with a strong vertical stress, while curves transition quickly from heavy stems to fine terminals, producing a glossy, high-fashion rhythm. Serifs are crisp and unbracketed to lightly bracketed in feel, and many strokes end in tapered, calligraphic points rather than blunt cuts. Capitals are stately and compact; lowercase shows flowing joins and angled entry/exit strokes, with a single-storey a and a lively, looped g. Numerals match the italic slant and contrast, with delicate crossbars and fine spurs that reinforce the overall sparkle.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, event posters, and refined packaging. It can work for short passages when set generously (size, leading, and tracking) to preserve clarity of the hairlines and counters.
The font communicates sophistication and drama: poised, chic, and slightly theatrical. Its bright hairlines and steep italic posture evoke luxury publishing and runway branding, giving text an energetic, upscale tone even at moderate sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic serif for premium, style-led typography—prioritizing elegance, speed, and visual drama over utilitarian durability at small sizes or low-resolution conditions.
In running text the thin hairlines and tight internal spaces can create a glittery texture, especially where diagonals and joins repeat (e.g., in n/m/u sequences). The italic inclination is consistent across letters and figures, and the design relies on clean edges and careful spacing to keep the high-contrast forms from feeling brittle.
