A slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms lean consistently, with vertical stress and tapered strokes that create a shimmering, high-contrast texture in text. Serifs are sharp and delicate, and many joins and terminals end in fine points, giving the outlines a refined, incisive finish. Proportions are narrow with compact counters, and the rhythm feels quick and tight, especially in mixed-case settings and numerals.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and brand marks where its narrow stance and sharp contrast can add polish and drama. It works particularly well in luxury, beauty, and cultural contexts, and can also serve for short subheads or captions when set with ample size and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is elegant and fashion-forward, pairing refinement with a slightly dramatic, high-style attitude. Its sparkle and steep contrast evoke luxury editorial typography and premium branding, where sophistication and visual tension are desirable.
Designed to deliver a refined, high-fashion italic voice with strong contrast and a condensed footprint. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and visual sparkle rather than utilitarian readability, making it a natural choice for expressive display typography.
Uppercase forms read as sleek and statuesque, while the lowercase adds a subtly calligraphic cadence through curved entry/exit strokes and occasional hooked terminals. In continuous text the fine hairlines and narrow spacing create a bright, glossy texture that rewards larger sizes and good contrast against the background.
