This typeface presents a sharply contrasted italic serif voice with a steep, consistent rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and main strokes are dense and sculpted, while hairlines snap to extremely fine terminals, producing crisp, pointed serifs and tapered joins. Curves are cut with a slightly angular, chiseled feel—especially visible in bowls and S-curves—creating a lively, faceted rhythm rather than a soft transitional flow. Proportions lean toward compact, display-oriented forms, with tight interior counters in several letters and a generally assertive silhouette across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium brand marks, and upscale packaging where high contrast can be showcased. It can also work for short pull quotes or opening lines when set at generous sizes with careful spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is high-fashion and theatrical, balancing refinement with a bold, attention-seeking glamour. Its razor-edged hairlines and steep italic energy evoke couture editorial typography and premium branding, with a sense of speed and polish rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, couture-leaning italic serif with dramatic contrast and sharply finished details—prioritizing impact, elegance, and a distinctive editorial texture.
The numerals and uppercase show strong personality, with swashy, tapered details and delicate entry/exit strokes that read best when given room. In running text, the extreme contrast and tight apertures create a dense, glittering texture that emphasizes form and rhythm over long-form comfort, especially at smaller sizes.
