A sharply condensed italic serif with extreme vertical emphasis and a tight rhythm. Stems are thick and rectilinear while curves and joins taper into fine, blade-like terminals, creating a pronounced thick–thin cadence across the line. Serifs are minimal and sharp, often reading as pointed wedges rather than bracketed forms, and counters stay narrow to preserve the tall, streamlined silhouette. Overall spacing is compact, producing a dense, high-energy texture in words and headlines.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and bold editorial callouts where its condensed, slanted forms can create drama without needing large amounts of copy. It can also work for branding accents—logotypes, labels, and packaging—when a sleek, high-impact voice is desired.
The font projects a sleek, dramatic tone with strong editorial swagger. Its steep slant and razor terminals feel fast and theatrical, lending a fashion-forward, vintage-inflected mood that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
Likely designed as a statement display serif that maximizes verticality and contrast to achieve immediate impact. The combination of compression, italic momentum, and sharp terminals suggests an intention to evoke speed, sophistication, and classic headline glamour in a contemporary, punchy form.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V/W/X and similar forms) appear especially hairline-light against the heavy uprights, heightening the sense of speed and contrast. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed pattern, making them visually consistent with uppercase headlines. The overall color is dark and commanding, with distinctive silhouettes that pop in short phrases.
