A slanted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a sculpted, flaring serif treatment that reads like a sharpened wedge rather than a flat bracket. Stems and diagonals taper into pointed terminals, giving letters a taut, chiseled silhouette; curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with thin hairlines that stay crisp against the heavier verticals. Proportions are on the compact side with relatively narrow letterforms and a steady, even rhythm in text, while capitals show assertive, angled entry/exit strokes and sharply cut joins.
This face is best suited to display settings where its contrast and sharpened serifs can read as intentional detail—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and deck copy when set with generous size and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and high-fashion, with a dramatic, editorial polish. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast suggest sophistication and confidence, leaning toward classic European luxury rather than casual or utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif with a luxurious, contemporary edge: high contrast for sparkle, compact proportions for density, and flared, pointed terminals for a distinctive signature in branding and editorial typography.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with angled, knife-like finishing strokes, and the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Round letters maintain a restrained width, and the interior spaces stay clean, helping the style remain legible despite the thin hairlines.
