A sharply slanted serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms are tall and tightly set, with narrow proportions, long vertical stress, and pointed, wedge-like serifs that taper into needle-thin terminals. Curves are drawn with a smooth, taut rhythm, while joins and entry strokes often sharpen into angled cuts, giving the design a chiseled, high-fashion silhouette. Numerals and capitals echo the same elongated structure and razor contrast, producing a consistent, sculptural texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty campaigns, premium packaging, and brand marks where high contrast and a narrow, italic profile can shine. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when generous spacing and ample size are available.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a couture, magazine-ready polish. Its steep italic angle and knife-edge detailing read as confident and sophisticated, leaning more toward runway/editorial glamour than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast italic serif optimized for glamorous display use, combining condensed proportions with sparkling hairlines and assertive vertical strokes to create a distinctive, editorial voice.
In text settings the dark strokes form a strong vertical cadence while the hairlines create sparkling highlights; this makes the face visually striking but also sensitive to size and reproduction quality. The narrow fit and steep slant amplify momentum and help headlines feel dynamic and upscale.
