A tightly condensed italic serif with extreme thick–thin contrast and crisp, unbracketed hairline serifs. The letterforms are tall and compressed, with a strong diagonal slant and vertical, blade-like stems that give the face a fast, striated rhythm in text. Curves are narrowed and squared-off in places, producing compact counters and a graphic, poster-like texture. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, with sharp terminals and a slightly mechanical, upright structure despite the overall italic lean.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and condensed build can read as intentional style—magazine headlines, fashion or nightlife branding, posters, packaging, and punchy pull quotes. It will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the hairline serifs and internal details stay clear.
The font conveys drama and polish—stylish and slightly theatrical, with a couture/editorial energy. Its sharp contrast and compressed proportions feel assertive and high-impact, suggesting luxury, headlines, and classic show-card intensity rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic display serif that combines classic Didone-like contrast with compressed, energetic proportions. It aims to deliver a dramatic, premium voice with strong vertical rhythm and sharp finishing details for attention-grabbing typographic statements.
The design’s narrow set and strong slant create dense word shapes, while the hairline details add sparkle at larger sizes. In longer lines, the repeated vertical stems form a bold cadence, so spacing and size choices will heavily influence readability.
