A highly condensed italic serif with tall proportions and a strong rightward lean. Strokes show clear contrast with crisp hairlines and firmer verticals, while the serifs remain fine and tapered, often resolving into pointed terminals. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow counters and compact sidebearings that create a dense texture in words. Curves are drawn with a calligraphic tension, and several letters show subtle entry/exit hooks and elongated ascenders/descenders that emphasize the font’s verticality.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle headlines, magazine titling, posters, and brand touchpoints where a sleek, upscale voice is needed. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and packaging fronts when set with generous size and careful spacing to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is refined and slightly theatrical, suggesting luxury and speed through its steep italic angle and razor-thin details. It reads as cosmopolitan and fashion-forward, with a classic editorial elegance rather than a casual or rustic feel.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-efficient italic voice with strong vertical emphasis, combining classic serif cues with a modern, high-fashion narrowness for impactful display typography.
The narrow set width and sharp detailing make the face feel best at display sizes, where the delicate hairlines and pointed terminals remain clear. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed, italicized construction, reinforcing a consistent, stylized texture across mixed copy.
