A sharply contrasted serif italic with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. Stems are sleek and tapered, with crisp, pointed serifs and delicate entry/exit strokes that create a glittery, high-fashion texture. Counters are relatively tight and the overall proportions feel tall and compact, giving the face a poised, high-strung rhythm. The italics show a calligraphic slant with lively terminals, and the numerals follow the same slender, showpiece construction.
Best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury brand wordmarks, and sophisticated event materials. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads where its refined contrast and italic energy are allowed to take center stage, especially in high-quality print or large digital settings.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, suggesting sophistication and drama rather than warmth. Its sparkling thin strokes and steep contrast read as fashionable and premium, with a sense of precision and ceremony. The italic movement adds a romantic, theatrical flair suited to expressive typography.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif italic with dramatic contrast and a polished, boutique sensibility. The focus appears to be on elegance and visual impact—sharp details, taut curves, and a luminous hairline structure that elevates titles and branding.
At text sizes the hairlines and delicate joins become key to the look, producing a shimmering, high-contrast color on the page. The italic forms emphasize sweeping diagonals and tapered terminals, which can make spacing and punctuation feel especially prominent in display settings.
