A tightly condensed, right-leaning sans with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Curves are taut and compact, with oval counters that stay narrow even in round letters, while straight strokes feel blade-like and controlled. Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact bowls and narrow apertures, creating a dense, vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, giving figures a refined, editorial snap.
Best suited to display work where impact and elegance need to coexist—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when given room to breathe, but it is most effective when used in concise, high-contrast typographic moments.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashionable, combining a sleek silhouette with a sense of speed and intensity. Its strong slant and sharp finishing details project confidence and urgency, reading as modern, stylish, and slightly theatrical rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial italic voice: compact, energetic, and luxurious. By pairing a narrow footprint with dramatic contrast and sharp terminals, it aims to maximize presence in limited space while maintaining a polished, runway-ready finish.
The narrow set and energetic diagonal stress create a strong directional flow across words, especially in all-caps. Because of the compressed proportions and tight internal spaces, it visually benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing in longer settings.
