A sleek italic serif with pronounced vertical stress and extreme thick–thin modulation. Stems are razor-thin in places with sharp, pointed serifs and tapered entry/exit strokes that create a crisp, calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms are notably condensed, with tall proportions, tight internal counters, and an overall emphasis on upward verticals. Curves and joins feel controlled and polished, while diagonals and terminals end in fine, needle-like points that heighten the sense of precision.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and editorial settings where its contrast and condensed italic silhouette can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for fashion/beauty branding, luxury packaging, event identities, and poster titles where a refined, high-impact serif is needed. For longer passages, it is likely more effective as a highlight style (pull quotes, subheads, or short intros) than as body text.
The overall tone is glamorous and formal, leaning toward fashion and luxury cues. Its dramatic contrast and narrow stance give it a poised, high-end voice that feels curated and slightly theatrical rather than casual. The italic movement adds sophistication and a sense of forward motion suited to display-driven typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, display-oriented serif voice by combining condensed proportions with a steep italic slant and dramatic contrast. Its sharp serifs and hairline detailing prioritize visual sophistication and elegance over utilitarian neutrality.
Uppercase shapes read stately and columnar, while the lowercase maintains a compact, elegant cadence with delicate hairline links and small apertures. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted posture, appearing stylish and poster-ready rather than utilitarian. The design’s sharp details and tight proportions suggest it will look best with generous tracking and ample white space.
