A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly calligraphic modulation. Thick vertical and diagonal stems are paired with hairline connections and needle-fine serifs, creating a crisp, glossy texture in larger sizes. Serifs are sharp and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing and tapered joins that emphasize stroke flow. Uppercase forms feel compact and sculpted, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like terminals that add momentum; numerals match the same steep contrast and angled stress.
Well suited to fashion-led headlines, magazine display typography, and brand-driven applications where contrast and italic energy can carry the message. It can also work for premium packaging and short, emphatic pull quotes, especially when set at display sizes.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting an upscale, runway/editorial sensibility with a hint of vintage sophistication. Its sparkle comes from the hairlines and sharp finishing, giving text a confident, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary display italic rooted in conventional serif forms, using extreme contrast and sharp serifs to create a luxurious, editorial voice.
The combination of narrow hairlines and heavy main strokes produces a strong light–dark rhythm and a slightly shimmering line in setting. The italic construction is assertive, and the sharp details suggest best performance when given enough size and spacing for the fine strokes to remain clear.
