A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes, creating a crisp, glossy rhythm across text. Serifs are fine and pointed with occasional teardrop/ball terminals, and many joins resolve into wedge-like cuts that emphasize the slanted, calligraphic construction. Proportions feel contemporary and slightly high-waisted, with rounded forms kept tight and smooth while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) slice cleanly. Uppercase has a stately, display-oriented presence, while lowercase shows a lively italic flow with single-storey a and g and compact, angled counters.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine-style headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented branding where contrast and italic energy are assets. It can also serve well in invitations and high-end packaging or lookbooks, especially when set at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a poised, fashion-forward sparkle that reads as premium and cultivated. Its steep italic and pronounced contrast add drama and motion, suggesting sophistication rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion italic serif voice: dramatic contrast, sharp refinement, and a smooth, flowing reading line that feels crafted for display and upscale editorial settings.
In longer lines, the thin hairlines and delicate serifs create a shimmering texture that will reward generous sizing and careful spacing. Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in spirit, with curvy, calligraphic strokes and pronounced contrast that matches the letterforms.
