A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered joins and hairline serifs that read as mostly unbracketed. The letterforms lean strongly, with compact, condensed proportions and a tight internal rhythm; counters are relatively small and strokes swell quickly from thin to heavy. Terminals tend toward pointed or knife-like finishes, and curves show a polished, sculpted quality typical of display-oriented italics. Numerals and capitals maintain the same crisp contrast and elegant tension, producing a consistent, glossy texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-form editorial typography where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can work well for luxury branding, packaging, and event or campaign graphics that benefit from a refined, high-fashion atmosphere.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, projecting a couture, magazine-like sophistication. Its sharp contrast and energetic slant add urgency and glamour, giving text a poised, high-end voice with a slightly dramatic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic voice for display settings—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and a strong directional rhythm over neutral long-text comfort.
The typeface creates a distinctly striped texture in words due to the strong diagonal stress and frequent hairline strokes, which makes spacing and line breaks feel lively. Round letters (like O and o) appear slightly compressed, reinforcing the compact, fashion-forward silhouette.
