A bold italic serif with pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and hairline joins, producing sharp, glossy-looking counters and apertures. Serifs are wedge-like and often braced, with many terminals tapering to fine points that read as slightly incised or cut. Curves are full and rounded, while diagonals and joins create crisp internal white shapes, giving the letters a sculpted, high-impact texture. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with prominent entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like tails (notably in letters like Q and y).
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated—editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and striking poster typography. It can also work for logotypes and pull quotes when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve the fine hairline details.
The tone is dramatic and stylish, leaning toward fashion-led elegance with a hint of vintage display flair. Its sharp hairlines and sweeping italic motion convey confidence and theatricality, making text feel premium and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that combines classic high-contrast construction with a lively italic gesture and refined, tapering terminals. Its goal is to deliver a luxurious, editorial voice with strong visual sparkle and distinctive display character.
In the text sample, the strong black mass and glittering hairline details create an assertive color on the page, especially at larger sizes. The numeral set follows the same italic, high-contrast logic with sculpted curves and pointed terminals, helping maintain a cohesive headline voice across letters and figures.
