A highly condensed italic with long, slender proportions and a consistent, linear stroke weight. Serifs read as crisp, squared terminals that stay restrained and clean rather than decorative, giving the forms a precise, architectural edge. Curves are narrow and controlled, with tight apertures and an overall vertical rhythm that feels tall and continuous. The italic slant is steady and even across caps and lowercase, and the numerals follow the same streamlined, columnar logic for a uniform texture.
Best suited to display typography where its condensed italic stance can create height and drama—magazine headlines, fashion branding, cultural posters, and refined packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when generous spacing and size preserve clarity.
The tone is cool and poised, projecting a modern elegance that feels editorial and fashion-oriented. Its thin, towering presence creates a sense of sophistication and restraint, with a slightly dramatic, poster-like tension from the extreme narrowness and italic movement.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary italic voice with a strong vertical thrust, pairing sharp, squared serifs with an ultra-condensed silhouette for high-impact, elegant display composition.
Because the letters are so compressed, counters and joins can appear tight, making the texture more striking at display sizes than in dense text. The design maintains a consistent cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting clean, linear word shapes.
