This is a high-contrast italic serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. The letterforms show vertical stress with crisp, unbracketed serifs and tapered, calligraphic joins that give strokes a carved, glossy feel. Italic construction is fairly steep and lively, with narrow entry strokes, pointed terminals, and occasional long swashes (notably in capitals like A and X, and the Q’s tail). Proportions skew elegant and high-waisted, with compact counters in some rounds and a rhythmic alternation of heavy stems and filament-like connecting strokes across the alphabet and figures.
This font is best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format posters where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, especially when you want an elevated, editorial voice.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, evoking high-end editorial typography and fashion branding. Its sharp contrast and energetic italic flow create a sense of motion and sophistication, with a slightly theatrical edge that reads as premium and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast italic serifs—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and dramatic stroke modulation for impactful display typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight in display settings, helping the italic slant and contrast knit into a continuous texture. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined hairline detailing, and several glyphs feature distinctive, needle-like cross strokes that emphasize the font’s precision and sparkle at larger sizes.
