A sharply slanted serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms are tall and condensed, with long ascenders/descenders and a pronounced vertical axis, giving curves a taut, sculpted feel. Strokes transition quickly from heavy stems to fine terminals, producing a glittery texture at text sizes and a razor-edged look in display. Counters are relatively tight, and spacing feels compact, reinforcing a narrow, high-tension rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine and fashion layouts, posters, and premium brand identities where its contrast and narrow proportions can create a striking vertical rhythm. It can work for short text runs when set large with comfortable leading, but it is visually optimized for impactful, high-end typographic moments.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial, runway-ready elegance. Its dramatic contrast and steep italic angle add urgency and sophistication, suggesting luxury, culture, and high-end branding rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design intention appears to be a modern, high-fashion italic serif that emphasizes elegance through condensed proportions, strong vertical stress, and hairline detailing. It aims to deliver dramatic contrast and a refined editorial voice, prioritizing visual sophistication and headline presence.
In the samples, the dense texture and hairline details make it most successful when given room—larger sizes, generous leading, and careful tracking help preserve the delicate joins and thin strokes. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined, high-contrast logic, keeping the system visually consistent in mixed typography.
