A tightly condensed serif italic with striking thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. The letterforms combine broad, weighty main strokes with needle-fine hairlines, producing sharp, high-contrast silhouettes and a brisk, forward-leaning rhythm. Serifs are crisp and delicate, with an overall sleek, elongated proportion that keeps counters narrow and vertical. The lowercase shows a conventional, readable structure at a moderate x-height, while capitals are tall and commanding with a distinctly poster-like presence.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine covers, section headers, fashion or beauty branding, campaign headlines, and cinematic poster titling. It can work in short pull quotes or logotypes where its contrast and narrow proportions can be showcased without losing fine details.
The tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward fashion and high-end editorial styling. Its steep contrast and narrow stance create a sense of tension and elegance—more runway and headline than everyday text.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-contrast serif italic with a condensed footprint—maximizing impact and elegance in limited horizontal space. It prioritizes sharp editorial character and visual drama over neutral, body-text utility.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tight internal spaces become a defining feature, emphasizing sparkle and sharpness. In longer lines the condensed width and italic slant create a fast, continuous texture that favors punchy phrases over dense reading.
