A sharply contrasted italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-like hairlines. The letterforms lean strongly forward with a crisp, chiseled finish and small, precise serifs that often resolve into tapered, triangular terminals. Curves are tight and glossy, with occasional teardrop and ball-like details in the lowercase, plus a few exuberant swash touches on descenders and joins. Proportions feel generous and display-oriented, with lively rhythm from the alternating heavy stems and delicate connecting strokes.
Best suited to headlines, editorial display, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale packaging where its contrast and italic motion can shine. It also works well for short pull quotes, cover lines, and title treatments where a refined yet attention-grabbing voice is desired.
The overall tone is glamorous and theatrical, evoking couture headlines, classic magazine mastheads, and high-end packaging. Its assertive slant and extreme contrast project confidence and sophistication, while the occasional swashy details add a flirtatious, vintage-leaning charm.
This design appears intended as a modern high-contrast italic display serif that combines classic fashion-editorial cues with crisp, contemporary finishing. The goal seems to be maximum elegance and impact through extreme modulation, sharp terminals, and selective swash-like flourishes.
In continuous text, the fine hairlines and sharp joins create a sparkling texture that reads best at larger sizes. The numerals carry the same high-contrast, italicized energy, with sculpted curves that match the dramatic character of the capitals.
