This typeface is a sharply condensed, right-leaning serif with pronounced vertical stress and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes are built from bold, inky verticals contrasted with extremely fine hairline connections and delicate serifs, creating a crisp, cut-paper silhouette. Counters tend to be tall and narrow, curves are tightened into compact ovals, and terminals often finish with pointed or wedge-like details. The rhythm is energetic and directional, with consistent slant and tightly packed proportions that emphasize height and speed.
Best suited for display typography where impact and personality are the goal—posters, covers, fashion/editorial headlines, packaging titles, and brand marks that benefit from a tall, striking wordshape. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and breathing room, but it is less appropriate for long-form text or small UI sizes due to its extreme contrast and tight internal spaces.
The overall tone is high-drama and fashion-forward, combining a classic, editorial elegance with an aggressive, poster-like punch. Its narrow stance and razor contrast give it a cinematic, high-impact feel that reads as bold, stylized, and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual contrast and verticality in a compact width, pairing classic serif refinement with a fast, slanted stance for attention-grabbing display use. It emphasizes dramatic silhouettes and a strong typographic voice over neutral readability.
At larger sizes the hairlines and serifs become a defining feature, producing a refined sparkle against the heavy stems. In dense settings, the tight apertures and condensed forms prioritize presence over comfort, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect clarity.
