A sharply modeled italic serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. Serifs are fine and largely unbracketed, with pointed terminals and crisp joins that create a sleek, high-fashion silhouette. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm is driven by steep italic stress and prominent vertical strokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with graceful entry/exit strokes and a slightly varied stance across figures.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where its hairline detailing and contrast can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging, event invitations, and brand wordmarks that benefit from an elegant italic voice; for continuous small text, it will likely perform best at comfortable sizes with ample whitespace.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with a dramatic, editorial presence that feels poised and upscale. Its high-contrast sheen and sweeping italics evoke couture, magazine mastheads, and refined branding rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast italic serifs: prioritizing glamour, sharpness, and typographic sophistication for expressive display typography. Its forms emphasize visual sparkle and refined tension between thick stems and hairline finishing strokes.
The italic angle is assertive, and several forms show long, delicate finishing strokes that add sparkle but can become fragile at small sizes. The lowercase presents a classic, slightly calligraphic construction, while capitals retain a stately, display-oriented elegance.
