A very slender serif italic with pronounced vertical emphasis and crisp, hairline detailing. Strokes are sharply tapered with clear contrast between thick stems and fine connecting strokes, and the letterforms lean forward with a smooth, calligraphic flow. Serifs are delicate and sharp, often appearing as fine triangular or blade-like terminals rather than heavy brackets. Proportions are tall and condensed, with narrow counters and a tight rhythm that keeps long lines visually continuous.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty packaging, and luxury-oriented identities where a light, high-contrast italic can add drama without heaviness. It can work for short bursts of text—captions, decks, or refined subheads—when set at sufficiently large sizes and with spacing that preserves its hairline detail.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashionable, with a poised, high-end feel. Its lightness and narrow stance give it an airy, upscale character that reads as modern editorial rather than utilitarian. The italic slant adds motion and a sense of curated refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a condensed italic serif: maximizing elegance through height, sharp contrast, and fine terminals while maintaining a steady, readable rhythm in words and sentences.
Capitals are especially elongated and display-like, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent, restrained width and a smooth joining logic. Numerals follow the same thin, elegant construction, staying tall and streamlined to match the text color. Fine details and tight spacing suggest it benefits from generous sizes and comfortable tracking in longer settings.
