A sharply italic, high-contrast serif with a pronounced diagonal slant and crisp, tapered serifs. Stems are stout and sculpted while hairlines stay extremely fine, creating a rhythmic, calligraphic feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Curves are smooth and slightly teardropped at terminals, with narrow joins and pointed apexes that emphasize sparkle in large sizes. Proportions feel compact and lively: lowercase forms are relatively short against tall ascenders, and letter widths vary noticeably, giving words a dynamic, flowing texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and brand moments where a refined, high-contrast italic can take center stage. It works especially well for fashion and culture layouts, packaging, and premium logotypes, and is most effective at larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp details can remain clear.
The type conveys a polished, high-end tone with a distinctly editorial flair. Its steep italic gesture and razor hairlines read as expressive and dramatic, suggesting fashion, culture, and premium branding rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary Didone-leaning italic voice: elegant, assertive, and highly stylized, prioritizing visual impact and a luxurious editorial presence over neutral readability.
The numerals are equally stylized, with angled, calligraphic construction and strong contrast that matches the letters. Overall color on the page is dark and punchy, with bright highlights from the hairlines and tight internal counters that add intensity.
