A sharply contrasted, italic serif with tall, compressed proportions and a pronounced forward slant. Strokes alternate between dense, dark stems and extremely fine hairlines, producing a crisp vertical rhythm and strong vertical stress. Serifs are delicate and razor-thin, with minimal bracketing and pointed terminals that keep the silhouette sleek. Curves are tightly drawn and counters are narrow, while ascenders and capitals read tall and commanding; numerals follow the same high-contrast, condensed logic.
Best suited for display typography where contrast and compression can be showcased—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titles, and short pull quotes. It can also work for upscale packaging and event identities when set with generous spacing and ample size to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting luxury and a runway/editorial sensibility. Its narrow, high-tension shapes feel fast and sophisticated, with a slightly theatrical flair suited to display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast italic, prioritizing elegance, speed, and impact in large-scale typesetting. The condensed width and sharp detailing suggest a focus on commanding titles and brand marks rather than extended, small-size reading.
The italic construction is assertive, with pronounced entry/exit strokes and sharp joins that emphasize motion. The texture on the page is high-contrast and sparkling, with hairlines that create a refined shimmer at larger sizes while dense stems maintain strong presence.
