A condensed italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharp, tapered terminals that often flare slightly at the ends of strokes. The letterforms lean decisively with smooth, continuous curves, while joins and arches stay crisp and controlled. Serifs are small and wedge-like, and many strokes finish in pointed, pen-informed shapes rather than blunt cuts, giving the design a lively, sliced rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and the overall texture is dark and energetic, with visible modulation in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover lines where contrast and italic energy can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for branding elements such as logotypes, packaging titles, and event or cultural posters, especially when a refined, high-impact tone is needed.
The font reads as polished and theatrical, combining classical serif cues with a fashion-forward italic slant. Its high-contrast modulation and sharp finishing details create a sense of sophistication and speed, suggesting luxury, opinionated headlines, and confident editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast italic voice that feels traditional yet contemporary, using flared, tapered finishing to evoke pen-made elegance. Its narrow proportions and emphatic slant prioritize expressive display impact while maintaining a disciplined serif structure.
Capitals feel stately and slightly calligraphic, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence in letters like a, g, and y, adding movement to lines of text. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic momentum, staying consistent with the display-oriented, high-drama texture.
