A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. The letterforms are energetic and forward-leaning, with sharp, finely tapered serifs and needle-like hairlines that create a crisp silhouette. Capitals feel broad and sculpted with generous curves and decisive diagonals, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with compact counters and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals share the same dramatic contrast and slanted posture, reading as refined rather than utilitarian.
Best suited for display work such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, brand marks, and high-impact poster typography. It can also support short editorial subheads or pull quotes where the slanted, high-contrast texture is an advantage and sizes are generous.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, projecting a fashion-forward, editorial voice. Its sharp hairlines and glossy contrast give it a premium, high-drama presence suited to aspirational branding and elegant storytelling.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast italic serif: elegant, attention-grabbing, and optimized for statement typography where refinement and drama are key.
At larger sizes the thin strokes add sparkle and sophistication, while in dense text the extreme contrast and tight inner spaces can make the texture feel assertive and visually busy. The italic construction is central to the personality, giving lines a continuous sense of motion and emphasis.
