A highly condensed italic serif with extremely tall proportions and delicate hairline strokes. The overall rhythm is vertical and sleek, with pronounced slant, tight sidebearings, and long ascenders/descenders that create a stretched, high-waisted silhouette. Serifs are fine and sharp rather than heavy or blocky, and curves are narrow with tapered joins that reinforce a calligraphic, high-contrast impression. Numerals follow the same slender, elongated construction, staying consistent in tone and spacing with the letters.
Best suited to headlines, titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where a tall, refined italic voice is desired. It works especially well in fashion and lifestyle contexts, film/theatre-style posters, or magazine/editorial layouts where its condensed elegance can create a distinctive typographic signature.
The font projects a poised, couture-like elegance with a dramatic, cinematic flair. Its thin strokes and compressed width feel refined and intentional, suggesting luxury, sophistication, and a slightly retro editorial attitude rather than everyday utility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and drama in minimal horizontal space, combining a high-fashion condensed silhouette with delicate serif detailing. Its consistent slant and hairline finish suggest a display-oriented italic meant to stand out through texture, height, and refinement rather than weight.
In longer lines the strong vertical cadence becomes a defining texture, producing a sleek stripe-like color on the page. The narrow apertures and hairline details make it visually striking at display sizes, while the tight, condensed forms can look dense in small text or low-contrast reproduction.
