A sharply slanted serif with very thin hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Strokes end in tapered, flared terminals rather than heavy bracketed slabs, giving the letters a chiseled, drawn-with-a-pen feel. Proportions are elegant and slightly narrow in many capitals, with generous curves and tight joins that emphasize contrast. The lowercase shows a compact, readable x-height with lively, angled stress and crisp entry/exit strokes; counters stay open despite the delicate hairlines. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic rhythm, with smooth curves and slender finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and hairline details can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and refined packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or decks when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the delicate strokes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-style, with a dramatic sparkle created by the extreme contrast and fine details. It reads as confident and cultured, leaning toward luxury and editorial polish rather than utilitarian text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on the high-contrast italic serif tradition, combining classical forms with tapered, flared endings for extra finesse. Its priority is visual sophistication and expressive rhythm in prominent typographic roles.
In larger settings the hairlines and tapered terminals create a striking shimmer and a distinctly calligraphic cadence. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping lines of text feel cohesive and fluid.
