A high-contrast italic serif with sharp triangular serifs, extremely thin hairlines, and swelling vertical strokes that create a strong light–dark rhythm. The curves are taut and clean with a largely vertical stress, while entry and exit strokes taper to fine points. Proportions feel display-oriented: capitals are narrow and statuesque, and the lowercase shows a compact, slightly calligraphic italic construction with pronounced stroke modulation. Counters remain relatively open, but the thinnest joins and terminals get very delicate, emphasizing a sleek, cut-paper sharpness.
Best suited for large sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and elegant title treatments. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when printing and resolution support the very fine details.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting a modern-luxury, fashion-forward mood. Its crisp contrasts and pointed detailing read as elegant and assertive rather than friendly, lending a sense of prestige and high-end editorial styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion italic with dramatic contrast and razor-fine finishing, prioritizing sophistication and visual impact over utilitarian text robustness. Its sculpted serifs and crisp modulation suggest a focus on editorial display and brand-led typography.
The italic slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with distinctive pointed terminals that give many letters a chiseled silhouette. Numerals and capitals have a display-like presence, and the rhythm across words feels lively due to tapered strokes and strong contrast-driven sparkle.
