A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a clear vertical stress. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in stance with lively, varied widths across characters, giving a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic flow. Serifs are fine and crisp with minimal bracketing, and terminals tend to be tapered and pointed. Ascenders are tall and prominent, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height; the overall texture alternates between bold main strokes and delicate connecting hairlines, producing a sparkling page color in text.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and refined packaging where high contrast and an italic voice add drama. It can also work for invitations and short-form editorial typography, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size to protect the hairline details.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and luxury, while the sharp detailing adds a sense of precision and formality.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic contrasted italics—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and expressive italic motion for display and refined editorial settings.
In the samples, the italic angle is assertive and consistent, and the strongest strokes read as confident verticals against very thin cross-strokes and serifs. The design’s delicacy in the hairlines makes it feel best where printing or rendering can preserve fine details, especially at display sizes.
