A sharply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered stroke endings. The letterforms are compact and tall, with narrow internal counters and a tight overall footprint, while maintaining a steady baseline rhythm. Serifs and terminals feel chiseled and slightly flared rather than bracketed, and curves resolve into fine hairlines that add sparkle at display sizes. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with long, energetic ascenders and descenders, and the numerals share the same taut, high-contrast construction.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and high-impact poster typography where the high-contrast details can remain clear. It can also work for short bursts of text such as subheads, captions, and premium packaging copy when set with comfortable size and line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, balancing classic serif sophistication with a fashion-forward edge. Its steep italic posture and razor-thin hairlines create a sense of speed, luxury, and drama that reads as premium and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion italic voice with a distinctive, sculpted serif finish and a refined, high-contrast texture. Its narrow proportions and energetic slant prioritize expressive display typography over neutral long-form reading.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the thin hairlines are a key part of the texture, so the design’s character is most evident when given enough size and contrast. The capitals are especially streamlined, producing a sleek vertical cadence across lines of text.
