A sharply contrasted italic serif with tall, slender proportions and pronounced vertical stress. Thick stems snap into extremely fine hairlines, with crisp, delicate serifs and needle-like entry/exit strokes that create a glossy, high-fashion rhythm. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and diagonals (notably in N, V, W, and x) feel steep and precise. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with long ascenders and descenders, while numerals are similarly refined, mixing firm verticals with airy hairline curves.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-end advertising. It also works well for pull quotes and titling where an italic, couture-like voice is desired, especially when set with generous size and careful tracking.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, pairing a quiet sophistication with a slightly theatrical sparkle from its extreme contrast. It reads as modern-editorial rather than rustic or scholarly, projecting confidence, exclusivity, and polish.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, premium italic voice rooted in classic high-contrast serif conventions. Its intent is to emphasize glamour and precision through dramatic thick–thin transitions, sharp detailing, and a streamlined, narrow silhouette.
The thinnest strokes and serifs are exceptionally fine, so the design’s character is most apparent at larger sizes where the hairlines can remain clean and the contrast can breathe. Spacing appears intentionally compact, reinforcing a sleek, runway-like texture in words and lines of text.
