A tightly set, right-leaning serif with extremely condensed proportions and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Strokes taper into hairline wedge-like serifs and sharp, pointed terminals, giving the letters a carved, calligraphic feel despite an overall display boldness. Curves are narrow and vertical, counters are compact, and joins often pinch to thin connections, creating a crisp, high-tension texture in words. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered construction with strong contrast and compact forms.
Best suited to display typography where drama and sophistication are desired—magazine headlines, mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, event posters, and high-impact pull quotes. It works especially well when given generous size and spacing so the fine hairlines and sharp serifs remain clear.
The tone is emphatic and stylized, mixing classic serif elegance with a more theatrical, poster-like urgency. Its sharp contrast and compressed stance read as glamorous and authoritative, with a slightly vintage, print-forward attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact within minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with crisp contrast for an assertive, editorial display voice. Its sculpted serifs and tapered strokes suggest a deliberate nod to classic italic forms while pushing them toward a more decorative, statement-making presence.
The condensed width and high-contrast details create strong vertical rhythm, but the thin hairlines and tight counters become visually dominant at smaller sizes. Italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a continuous forward motion in text lines.
