A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms show a steep rightward slant, tapered entry and exit strokes, and crisp terminals, with occasional ball terminals (notably in lower-case forms). Capitals feel sculpted and formal, with narrow internal counters and clean, pointed serifs; the lowercase has a calligraphic rhythm, single-storey a and g, and an overall lively texture driven by thin joining strokes and swelling verticals. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing sturdy stems with delicate hairlines and angled terminals.
It performs best in display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and brand identities where high contrast can be showcased. For longer passages, it suits pull quotes, intros, and short editorial blocks at comfortable sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The typeface conveys refined luxury and a distinctly editorial tone—confident, polished, and slightly theatrical. Its high contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and display-level flair rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italic serifs: elegant, attention-grabbing, and optimized for expressive typography. It prioritizes sharp detail, dynamic slant, and a polished editorial texture for sophisticated, high-impact composition.
Spacing and rhythm read as tightly coordinated, producing a strong vertical cadence in text while the hairlines add sparkle in larger sizes. The design emphasizes crispness and sheen: thin strokes are extremely light, and thick strokes broaden quickly, creating a dramatic shimmer across lines.
