A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and swelling main strokes that create a crisp, engraved look. Serifs are fine and pointed, with sharp, tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant across caps, lowercase, and figures. Proportions are relatively condensed, and the rhythm is lively, with calligraphic joins and teardrop-like details in places (notably in some lowercase forms and punctuation). Numerals and capitals carry a display-oriented presence, pairing delicate cross-strokes with bold stems for strong light–dark patterning.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where the sharp contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial subheads or premium packaging copy, but the delicate hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, leaning toward runway and magazine aesthetics. Its combination of refined hairlines and emphatic thick strokes conveys elegance, status, and a slightly dramatic, headline-forward personality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a high-fashion, high-contrast italic serif—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and dramatic emphasis for editorial and branding contexts.
In longer lines of text, the italic angle and extreme stroke modulation create a sparkling texture that is attention-grabbing but visually assertive. The capital set feels formal and sculpted, while the lowercase introduces more fluid, calligraphic motion, giving mixed-case settings a stylish, expressive cadence.
