A condensed, high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and tall proportions. Stems are dominated by bold verticals paired with extremely fine hairlines, creating a sharp calligraphic rhythm and strong vertical stress. Serifs are slender and crisp with minimal bracketing, and curves are narrow and controlled, keeping counters tight and the overall texture sleek. Numerals follow the same tall, elegant construction, with thin joins and tapered terminals that maintain the font’s delicate, elongated profile.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short display settings where its high-contrast detailing and tall, condensed shapes can read cleanly. It can elevate fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography, especially when given generous spacing and used at larger sizes.
The font reads as polished and fashion-forward, with a dramatic, upscale tone. Its razor-thin details and tall silhouette suggest couture, magazine display, and classic luxury cues, while the italic movement adds a sense of speed and theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, editorial display voice built around extreme elegance: tall condensed proportions, crisp serifs, and dramatic stroke contrast. The italic slant amplifies sophistication and movement, positioning it as a statement face for refined, attention-grabbing typography.
The narrow set and spiky hairlines create a high-impact sparkle at larger sizes, but also produce a dense, tightly woven color in lines of text. Round characters (like O, Q, 0) are noticeably compressed, reinforcing the streamlined, column-like appearance.
