A condensed, high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic build. Thick strokes are weighty and wedge-like while hairlines stay extremely fine, producing sharp, blade-shaped terminals and tapered joins. Serifs and endings often flare into pointed, triangular forms rather than flat brackets, giving the letterforms a carved, kinetic look. Curves are tight and tense, counters are small, and spacing feels compact, creating a brisk vertical rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its condensed proportions and razor contrast can work as a focal point—magazine mastheads, fashion or lifestyle headlines, posters, and brand marks. It can also add a premium, dramatic edge to packaging and campaign graphics when used at larger sizes with generous breathing room.
The overall tone is assertive and stylish, with a runway/editorial confidence that reads as dramatic and upscale. Its sharp terminals and steep slant add urgency and attitude, suggesting luxury branding, nightlife, or high-impact cultural headlines rather than quiet, utilitarian reading.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice by combining condensed proportions with extreme contrast and pointed, flared terminals. The goal is impact and elegance in display typography, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and energetic rhythm over neutral text performance.
In text, the extreme contrast and condensed width create strong color and a distinctive sparkle, especially where hairlines cross and taper into points. Numerals and capitals carry the same sharp, flared finishing, reinforcing a cohesive, display-led voice across letters and figures.
