A condensed italic with extremely tall proportions and a steady, near-monoline stroke. Serifs read as small, squared slab terminals that stay crisp and largely unbracketed, giving the forms a clean, cut-in look rather than a calligraphic one. Curves are narrow and taut (notably in C/O/Q), and joinery is simple and economical; counters are slim and vertical, reinforcing the compressed rhythm. The lowercase is similarly narrow with high ascenders and modest descenders, and the numerals follow the same elongated, streamlined construction for a consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display settings where its condensed width and italic motion can create impact without heavy color. It can work well for magazine and fashion typography, branding wordmarks, and packaging where a refined, high-contrast-in-feel (through proportion and stance) look is desired even with restrained stroke modulation.
The overall tone is sharp and stylish—more boutique and editorial than bookish. Its tall, slanted stance and clipped slab endings suggest mid‑century titling and modern fashion layouts, conveying speed, sophistication, and a slightly theatrical flair without becoming ornate.
This design appears intended as a display italic that combines the crisp authority of slab terminals with a streamlined, condensed silhouette. The goal seems to be strong vertical elegance and fast, modern motion for titling and editorial emphasis rather than long-form reading.
Capitals and figures share a unified, elongated silhouette that produces strong vertical cadence in lines of text. The italic angle is pronounced but controlled, helping longer phrases maintain a coherent flow while the tight letterforms keep word shapes compact and emphatic.
