A sharply drawn italic serif with extremely compressed proportions and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Vertical strokes dominate with a largely upright stress, while hairline joins, crossbars, and terminals stay exceptionally fine, creating a crisp, brittle silhouette. Serifs are minimal and razor-like, often reading as tapered entry/exit strokes rather than fully bracketed feet, and many forms show subtle swelling into the main stems. The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, with tall ascenders/descenders and a narrow set that produces a tight, vertical texture in words.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and tight width can be appreciated—mastheads, fashion and beauty editorials, luxury branding, and striking poster titles. It can also work for premium packaging and short pull quotes, provided printing or rendering is high quality and sizes aren’t too small.
The overall tone is luxe and theatrical, pairing high fashion polish with a slightly edgy, modern sharpness. Its narrow, towering rhythm feels poised and high-strung, lending a sense of sophistication and intensity rather than warmth or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an ultra-refined, contemporary take on classic contrasted italics: maximizing elegance through compression, towering proportions, and razor-thin detailing. It prioritizes visual drama and a sleek editorial texture over utilitarian text readability.
Uppercase forms read especially architectural and elongated, while the lowercase introduces more cursive movement in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same slender, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and hairline details that will reward generous sizing and careful reproduction.
