A sharply condensed italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, clean vertical strokes. Serifs are fine and tapered, often resolving into hairline exits that reinforce a sleek, forward-leaning rhythm. The overall texture is bright and high-contrast, with narrow letterforms and tight internal apertures that create an elegant, striated page color. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast construction, reading crisp and upscale at display sizes.
Best suited to fashion-led headlines, magazine typography, and premium brand identities where a refined, dramatic italic can carry the voice. It also works well for posters, short pull quotes, and elegant packaging typography, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample white space.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its steep italic angle and razor-thin hairlines add drama and sophistication, suggesting couture, premium branding, and high-end print design.
The typeface appears intended to deliver a modern editorial italic with classic serif cues—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a condensed silhouette for high-impact display reading.
The design emphasizes verticality and speed through its condensed proportions and brisk italic slant, while maintaining a conventional serif structure. The most delicate strokes approach hairline thickness, so the face benefits from generous size and careful reproduction to preserve detail.
