A slanted, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and broad, sculpted main strokes that create a striking black-and-white rhythm. The serifs are fine and pointed with little visible bracketing, and many joins terminate in needle-like beaks and tapered finishes. Curves are tightly controlled and glossy, with oval counters and pronounced thick–thin transitions; the italic construction introduces lively entry/exit strokes and occasional ball terminals. Spacing and letterfit read compact in text, producing a dense, polished texture with strong emphasis on vertical stems.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and short statements where its hairlines and sculpted contrast can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-impact poster typography, and is less ideal for long passages at small sizes where the fine strokes may diminish.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, pairing refined elegance with a slightly dramatic, showpiece attitude. It evokes runway/editorial styling—formal, high-end, and attention-seeking—rather than casual or utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, italicized display serif that maximizes contrast and sharp detailing for an upscale, editorial presence. Its proportions and finish suggest a focus on dramatic headline performance and brand voice over everyday text neutrality.
Uppercase forms feel display-oriented, with sharp diagonals and stylized details that heighten contrast and sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals match the same calligraphic-italic flavor, with prominent thick strokes and delicate hairline hooks that can feel ornate when set tightly.
