A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and sharp, unbracketed serifs. Letterforms are relatively wide and open, with smooth, swelling main strokes and tapered joins that create a sleek, rhythmic texture. Curves are clean and controlled, counters are generous, and terminals often finish in fine points or small teardrop-like ends, reinforcing a polished, display-oriented silhouette. Numerals follow the same contrasty, elegant construction, with sculpted curves and delicate connecting strokes.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated—editorial headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles. It can work for short passages at larger sizes, but is most effective when given ample size and clean reproduction conditions.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, leaning toward modern luxury and fashion aesthetics. Its steep contrast and italic momentum give it a sense of speed and glamour, while the precise hairlines keep the impression crisp and upscale.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: elegant, italic-forward, and built around dramatic stroke contrast for impactful typography. It aims to provide a refined display texture with a contemporary, editorial feel rather than a utilitarian reading face.
In running text the thin hairlines and tight details read as intentionally delicate, producing a lively sparkle at larger sizes. The italic slant is consistent and energetic, with especially expressive curves in round letters and distinctive, high-contrast forms in characters like Q, f, and g.
