A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main strokes, and very fine hairlines. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with lively, angled rhythm and crisp, unbracketed serifs that taper into sharp terminals. Curves are smooth and polished, with teardrop/ball-like terminals appearing in places (notably in the lowercase and figures), and the overall spacing feels tailored for display reading. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing strong stems with delicate linking strokes for an elegant, sparkling texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other prominent display settings where its contrast and italic cadence can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and event materials such as invitations, where a refined, high-fashion voice is desired. For longer passages, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes with ample leading to preserve clarity in the hairlines.
The tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward feel. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement add theatricality and sophistication, suggesting luxury, romance, and high-end print culture rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast italic serif, emphasizing elegance, speed, and sparkle on the page. Its sharp serifs, polished curves, and consistent slant suggest a focus on premium editorial typography and brand-forward display work.
Uppercase forms read stately and sculptural, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic gestures, especially in letters with loops and descenders. The italic slant is consistent across cases, creating a cohesive, fast-moving line in text, and the thin horizontals demand generous sizes and clean reproduction to keep the hairlines intact.
