A tightly condensed, right-slanted display face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, clean terminals. The letterforms are built from tall, narrow ovals and straightened curves, creating a taut rhythm and a distinctly vertical texture even in italic. Contrast concentrates into bold stems and swollen curves, while hairline joins and occasional razor-thin diagonals add a cut, graphic quality. Counters are compact and elongated, and the overall spacing reads as intentionally tight, amplifying the compressed, high-impact silhouette in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, cover lines, and large-scale typography where contrast and compression can deliver maximum impact. It works well for fashion and culture magazines, branding systems that need a sharp premium voice, and logotype-style wordmarks where a distinctive slanted silhouette is an advantage. For longer passages, it reads most comfortably when used sparingly as a display accent rather than as continuous body text.
The tone is sleek and assertive, with a fashion-forward, poster-ready confidence. Its dramatic contrast and compressed proportions evoke editorial headlines, luxury branding, and modernist display typography where intensity and sophistication are desirable. The sharp hairlines lend a slightly theatrical edge that feels contemporary rather than nostalgic.
The design appears aimed at a high-impact, condensed display voice that combines modern sans construction with dramatic modulation and an italic stance. Its narrow footprint and crisp hairlines prioritize presence, pace, and a refined, editorial feel for attention-grabbing typographic moments.
In text settings the slant and condensed fit create a fast, directional flow, while the extreme modulation produces strong sparkle at larger sizes. The thinnest strokes and hairline diagonals become defining visual accents, suggesting best performance when given enough size and resolution to preserve detail.
