A tightly condensed, right-leaning serif with elongated verticals and a crisp, cut-paper rhythm. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with pointed wedge terminals and hairline-like joins that create a sleek, blade-shaped silhouette. Many glyphs show deliberate breaks and small bridges, producing a segmented, stencil-like construction without losing the italic flow. Counters are narrow and tall, spacing is compact, and the overall texture reads as fast, taut, and highly directional.
Best suited to display use where its condensed stance and segmented details can read clearly—headlines, poster typography, title sequences, and brand marks. It also works well for fashion/editorial layouts and premium packaging when used at larger sizes with generous tracking. For longer passages, it benefits from larger point sizes and careful spacing to avoid crowding.
The font projects a theatrical, high-style tone—part runway editorial, part classic film title card. Its slanted, sliced forms feel energetic and slightly dangerous, suggesting speed, intrigue, and a polished, metropolitan attitude.
The design appears intended to merge an elegant italic serif voice with a distinctive cut-and-bridge motif, creating a bold visual signature for thematic and atmospheric typography. It prioritizes vertical drama and a sleek, stylized rhythm over conventional text neutrality.
The strongest identifying feature is the repeated, consistent ‘cut’ motif across both uppercase and lowercase, which gives the letterforms a crafted, engineered feel. The narrow apertures and sharp terminals increase the sense of tension and make the texture appear darker in longer lines, especially in all-caps settings.
