A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The design is tightly proportioned with tall capitals and condensed sidebearings, creating a taut vertical rhythm. Curves and joins taper aggressively into needle-like terminals, while counters stay relatively compact and upright, reinforcing the narrow, high-contrast silhouette. Numerals echo the same steep stress and knife-edge finishing, maintaining a consistent, polished texture across text and display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, and brand moments where elegance and contrast are desired. It performs especially well in short to medium lines where its narrow proportions and italic energy can read as intentional and luxurious rather than compressed.
The overall tone is poised and theatrical, leaning toward high-fashion and editorial sophistication. Its steep slant and razor contrast give it a sense of speed and drama, while the refined detailing keeps it formal and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast italic serifs, emphasizing compact width, dramatic modulation, and refined finishing for premium editorial and display applications.
In the sample text, the dense letterfit and strong diagonal flow produce a lively, forward-moving line, with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines. The punctuation and figures match the same sharp finishing, helping maintain a cohesive voice in headlines and short passages.
