A high-contrast italic serif with tall proportions, crisp hairlines, and strong thick-to-thin modulation. The design shows a predominantly vertical stress, with razor-fine unbracketed serifs and pointed, tapered entry/exit strokes that give the outlines a clean, chiseled feel. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, counters are relatively compact, and diagonals and joins stay sharp rather than soft or rounded. The italic angle is assertive, and character widths vary noticeably, producing a lively rhythm across words.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits editorial and fashion-oriented layouts, premium packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined, high-impact serif presence.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic sparkle that reads as high-end and stylish. It carries an editorial sophistication—more runway and magazine than everyday text—while still feeling classical and disciplined rather than playful or casual.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical high-contrast italics—maximizing elegance and visual drama through hairline details, sharp serifs, and a pronounced slanted rhythm.
In the samples, the extreme contrast creates bright highlights and delicate details, especially in strokes that thin to near-hairline. The numerals and capitals read particularly striking at display sizes, where the sharp serifs and sweeping italics become a key part of the personality.
