A sharply condensed serif with a steep rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical strokes are strong and dark while hairlines taper to fine points, with wedge-like serifs and angled terminals that emphasize speed and direction. Counters are compact and the rhythm is tightly packed, creating tall, elegant letterforms with energetic diagonals and occasional teardrop-like joins in the lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, covers, and display typography where its condensed width and contrast can build impact and elegance. It works well for fashion and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and campaign graphics that need a sophisticated, attention-grabbing voice; use with care at small sizes due to fine hairlines and tight spacing.
The overall tone is glamorous and high-drama, blending classical refinement with a headline-ready intensity. It reads as fashionable and confident, with a distinctly editorial, poster-like presence rather than a quiet bookish voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-impact italic serif for display settings, combining classic serif structure with a more calligraphic, fashion-oriented sweep. Its proportions and contrast prioritize visual drama and verticality to maximize presence in narrow headline spaces.
The narrow set and sharp joins create a dense texture in words, especially in all caps. Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic, and the face maintains a consistent, crisp silhouette that favors large sizes where the thin strokes can stay clear.
