A tightly set, steeply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connections. Vertical strokes are dense and dark while curves taper quickly into fine terminals, creating a crisp, sparkling texture. Serifs are sharp and compact, with a generally vertical stress and a smooth, continuous rhythm across rounds and diagonals. The overall proportions are tall and compressed, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized form with delicate joins and pointed finishes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display typography where its high contrast and narrow stance can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and lifestyle editorial design, premium branding, and packaging where an elegant, italic serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone with a touch of theatricality. Its narrow, high-contrast silhouette reads as stylish and assertive, suggesting luxury, sophistication, and editorial drama rather than casual neutrality.
This design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-leaning italic serif with strong contrast and compact proportions, prioritizing sophistication and visual impact in short-form settings. The consistent slant, sharp serifs, and hairline detailing suggest a focus on refined display typography with an editorial finish.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered joins become a defining feature, giving the face a refined, razor-edged presence. In dense text settings the narrow proportions and strong contrast create a busy texture, so spacing and size will materially affect clarity.
