A sharp, italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Hairline horizontals and serifs contrast strongly against dark, tapered main strokes, giving the letterforms a crisp, glossy finish. Proportions are compact with tight, narrow capitals and a restrained x-height, while curves and joins remain clean and controlled. Terminals are pointed and calligraphic in feel, with minimal bracketing and a consistent rightward slant that keeps the rhythm fast and elegant.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks where its refined contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for short pull quotes or titling on premium packaging, especially when printed at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and high-fashion, with a sense of drama and sophistication. Its knife-edge hairlines and sleek italic movement suggest luxury branding, glossy magazines, and premium packaging rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast italic with a couture sensibility—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and a dramatic typographic voice for display use over robust, everyday text reading.
In text, the tight spacing and strong contrast create a lively, sparkling texture, especially in mixed-case. The italic forms show energetic entry/exit strokes and finely cut terminals, which heighten elegance but can become delicate at small sizes or on low-resolution output.
