A condensed serif with a pronounced rightward slant and striking thick–thin modulation. The design relies on tall proportions, tight sidebearings, and a rhythmic pattern of heavy vertical stems contrasted by hairline joins and entry strokes. Serifs are sharp and compact with subtle bracketing, and many letters show tapered, teardrop-like terminals that emphasize the calligraphic pull of the italic. Overall spacing appears brisk and upright in texture despite the slant, producing a dense, energetic line color in text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium text settings where its contrast and slant can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work well in magazines, fashion and lifestyle branding, posters, and sophisticated packaging, especially when you want a compact width with strong typographic presence.
The font conveys a dramatic, stylish tone with a refined, high-end sensibility. Its strong contrast and steep italic energy read as assertive and theatrical, lending an editorial or fashion flavor rather than a quiet, bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact italic serif voice: condensed, dramatic, and visually sharp, optimized for attention-grabbing typography while maintaining a conventional serif structure.
Uppercase forms feel particularly tall and streamlined, with several letters using pointed joins and tapered diagonals that heighten the sense of motion. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and look display-oriented, matching the condensed rhythm of the capitals and the lively, slightly calligraphic lowercase.
