A sharply condensed italic serif with tall proportions and a taut, upright rhythm. Strokes show clear contrast with thin hairlines and firmer stems, while terminals finish in small, pointed serifs that read crisp rather than soft or bracketed. The letterforms are narrow and vertically emphatic, with streamlined curves, tight apertures, and a consistent forward slant that keeps counters compact. Numerals and capitals follow the same compressed, high-contrast logic, creating a uniform, poster-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display typography—headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and branding where a condensed italic can deliver strong vertical emphasis. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a refined, high-drama texture without taking up much horizontal space.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a fashion-editorial flair that feels both vintage and theatrical. Its narrow, high-contrast italic voice suggests sophistication and urgency, lending itself to attention-grabbing headlines and stylized display settings.
The design appears intended to compress classic serif elegance into a tall, narrow italic for maximum impact in limited space. It balances refined hairlines and pointed serifs with a consistent slant to create a stylish, energetic display voice.
In text samples the condensed width produces a dense, high-impact color, and the long ascenders/descenders plus pronounced slant add momentum across a line. The design reads best when given space for its fine details and sharp terminals to remain clear.
