An italic serif with a steep rightward slant, pronounced vertical stress, and sharply tapered hairlines. The design pairs thick, sculpted main strokes with extremely thin connecting strokes and fine, pointed serifs, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and the overall texture is lively, with noticeable modulation and a slightly calligraphic energy in curves and terminals. Figures and capitals show strong contrast and crisp entry/exit strokes, producing a polished, display-forward presence.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where contrast and slant can do the expressive work. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and formal invitations, especially when set at sizes that preserve its fine details.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical—more runway and editorial than utilitarian. It conveys luxury and tradition at once, with a dramatic sparkle from the hairlines and a confident, headline-ready cadence.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious italic voice with pronounced contrast and crisp, needle-like detailing—optimized for impactful display typography and sophisticated editorial styling rather than dense, small-size text.
The italic forms are assertive and continuous across the set, with sharp joins and thin links that give lines of text a shimmering, high-contrast texture. In longer samples, the font reads best when given enough size and spacing for the hairlines and terminals to remain distinct.
