A condensed italic serif with a pronounced forward slant and strong vertical stress. Strokes alternate between very fine hairlines and thicker stems, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are small, sharp, and largely unbracketed, with many terminals ending in angled, blade-like cuts rather than rounded finishes. The overall construction feels tall and taut, with narrow counters and a controlled, slightly calligraphic stroke flow that stays clean and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and condensed proportions can read as intentional style—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, premium branding, posters, and packaging. It can work for short text blocks or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is refined and dramatic, with a sleek, fashion-forward feel. Its narrow, slanted silhouette and razor-edged details suggest speed, precision, and a modern sense of elegance rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears aimed at delivering an elegant, high-impact italic voice that feels contemporary while drawing on classic high-contrast serif cues. Its condensed width and sharp terminals prioritize a stylish, attention-getting texture for titles and brand expressions.
In text samples, the tight letterforms and strong diagonals create a lively, almost kinetic texture, while the hairlines and pointed terminals can become delicate at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, italic logic and maintain the sharp, angular finishing throughout.
