A tightly condensed italic serif with tall proportions, a steep forward slant, and a lively calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered joins and pointed terminals, supported by small, bracketed serifs that keep the forms crisp rather than heavy. Counters are narrow and vertical stress is evident in rounded letters, giving the design a sleek, high-contrast-in-spirit feel without becoming hairline-thin. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted construction, reading like lining figures with italic energy and compact spacing.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed italic personality and serif detailing can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and branding or packaging that needs a refined, high-energy look. It can also work for short editorial subheads when space is tight, though the narrow counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for long passages.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining classic editorial sophistication with a slightly retro, poster-like flair. Its narrow stance and assertive slant create urgency and motion, while the serif detailing preserves a traditional, literary character.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-saving italic voice with strong verticality and classic serif cues. It prioritizes a distinctive, fast-moving silhouette for attention-grabbing typography while maintaining a conventional serif foundation for familiar readability.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and streamlined, and many letters end in sharp, angled terminals that enhance the sense of speed. The narrow widths create a strong vertical texture in lines of text, making word shapes feel tightly packed and stylized.
