A sharply slanted, high-contrast serif with a pronounced vertical stress and crisp hairline connections. The letterforms show bold, sculpted main strokes that taper quickly into thin serifs and razor-like terminals, creating a bright, sparkling rhythm in text. Proportions lean broad in the rounds and caps, while the lowercase keeps a compact body with a relatively low x-height and lively ascenders/descenders. Curves and joins feel calligraphically tensioned rather than geometric, with tight apertures and distinctive, carved-looking details that emphasize the contrast.
Best suited to display settings where the contrast and italic energy can lead: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and short editorial pull quotes. It can work for brief text passages when set large with generous spacing, but it visually performs strongest in titles and highlight typography.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, evoking runway/editorial typography and high-end packaging. Its steep contrast and slick italic movement give it a dramatic, polished voice that reads as refined and intentionally attention-grabbing rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver an editorial, high-fashion serif voice by combining wide, confident proportions with extreme stroke modulation and a dynamic italic stance. The aim is a refined but striking look that signals sophistication while maximizing visual impact.
In running text the font creates strong texture contrast between thick stems and delicate hairlines, with punctuation and figures matching the same carved, high-contrast logic. The italic angle and tapered terminals add momentum, making the design feel energetic even at larger display sizes.
