A sharply drawn italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and extreme thick–thin modulation. Long, tapered hairlines and crisp wedge-like serifs create a glossy, high-fashion rhythm, while the overall proportions stay tightly condensed. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are clean, and many letters show pointed terminals and narrow counters that emphasize a sleek, lifted silhouette. Numerals and capitals follow the same razor-contrast logic, giving the set a consistent, polished sparkle at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty campaigns, luxury packaging, and large pull quotes. It can also work for short subheads or dramatic titling where contrast and narrow proportions help fit more characters into limited space.
The tone is elegant and high-drama, evoking editorial headlines, luxury branding, and classical sophistication. Its narrow, slanted stance feels energetic and stylish rather than casual, with a poised, upscale presence.
Likely intended as a contemporary, fashion-leaning italic for impactful display use, combining classic high-contrast serif cues with condensed proportions to deliver elegance and intensity in a compact footprint.
The design leans on delicate hairlines and tight internal spaces, so it reads best when given enough size and breathing room. The italic construction is assertive, with strong diagonals in letters like N, V, W, and X and streamlined, elongated forms throughout.
