A sharply angled italic serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, largely unbracketed serifs. Stems and main curves are weighty and sculpted, while hairlines are very fine, creating a sparkling, high-contrast texture. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, with teardrop/ball terminals appearing in places and long, tapered entry and exit strokes that add motion. Proportions feel classic and slightly high-waisted, with compact counters and an overall polished, display-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers and feature titles, brand marks and luxury packaging, and formal invitations where dramatic contrast is an asset. It can work for short pulls or standfirsts, but will generally reward larger sizes and generous leading to preserve its fine hairlines.
The font reads as elegant and high-fashion, projecting a sense of luxury and theatrical contrast. Its sweeping italics and razor-thin hairlines lend a poised, editorial tone that feels formal and curated rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-leaning interpretation of classic high-contrast italic serifs, emphasizing elegance, speed, and visual drama for display typography.
In longer samples the dense blacks and delicate hairlines create a lively, shimmering page color; spacing appears tuned for display sizes where the hairlines stay visible. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted contrast and italic energy, reinforcing a cohesive, headline-forward personality.
