A steeply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, high-fashion silhouette. Stems and main curves are weighty and sculpted, while connections and serifs drop to very fine hairlines, creating a bright, sparkling rhythm across words. Serifs are sharp and refined with minimal bracketing, and many letters show pointed, calligraphic terminals that add snap at the ends of strokes. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places with lively, varied letter widths, and the lowercase includes a few notably energetic forms (especially in g, y, z, and f) that introduce gentle swash-like movement without becoming script.
Best used for display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography where large sizes can preserve the fine hairlines. It can also work for short editorial subheads or captions when set with comfortable size and spacing to protect the delicate details.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive—suited to fashion, luxury, and high-end editorial contexts where contrast and elegance are the primary message. Its italic angle and needle-like details give it a theatrical, sophisticated voice that feels more celebratory than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast, italic serif voice that merges classical editorial refinement with modern, attention-grabbing sharpness. Its energetic terminals and strong slant suggest a focus on expressive display typography over long-form, small-size reading.
In text lines, the strong diagonal flow and delicate hairlines create a shimmering texture, while the heavier main strokes keep it visually anchored. The figures show the same cut-and-polish approach, with bold bodies and sharp, fine finishing strokes that read as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
