A tightly compressed serif italic with pronounced vertical stress and extreme thick–thin modulation. The design pairs dense, weighty main strokes with razor-thin hairlines and small, sharp serifs, producing a distinctly engraved look. Counters are narrow and tall, curves are taut, and joins stay crisp, giving the face a sculpted, high-tension rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, with elegant, tapered curves and compact widths.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and compression can be showcased. It can also work for premium packaging and event or entertainment collateral when set with adequate spacing and size.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a slightly theatrical edge. Its steep italic angle and compressed proportions feel energetic and assertive, while the refined hairlines keep it polished and classic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal width, combining a fashionable editorial voice with a refined, classical serif structure. It prioritizes striking silhouette, contrast, and forward motion over long-form readability, making it a display-first italic.
At text sizes the hairlines and tight internal spaces can visually close up, so the font reads strongest with generous size, careful tracking, and clean printing or high-resolution display. The italic slant and tall silhouettes create a strong horizontal momentum across lines, making it naturally attention-grabbing in headings.
