A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines paired with strong, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are sharp and fine, with a crisp, modern finish and minimal bracketing, while curves show taut, controlled modulation. The italic construction is lively and forward-leaning, with narrow joins, tapered terminals, and sweeping entry/exit strokes that create a sense of motion. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height, and the overall rhythm alternates between dense thick strokes and delicate, almost threadlike details for a distinctly refined texture.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline detail and contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, event invitations, and poster titles. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with ample size and comfortable spacing.
The tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing sophistication with a slightly theatrical, high-fashion drama. Its crisp contrast and energetic italic slant suggest prestige, polish, and a curated, high-end voice rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast italics: sharp, glamorous, and highly stylized for impact in display settings. Its combination of crisp serifs, vertical stress, and animated italic forms prioritizes elegance and visual drama over utilitarian text neutrality.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs read as intentionally delicate and glamorous, while at smaller sizes the extreme contrast can make fine details and joins feel fragile. Numerals and capitals carry the same dramatic modulation, helping headlines and pull quotes feel cohesive across mixed-case and figures.
