A tall, tightly set italic with compressed proportions and a strong thick–thin rhythm. Stems are heavy and straight while joins and curves taper quickly into hairline terminals, creating a crisp, cut-in silhouette. Rounds are narrow and vertically stressed, and many letters show slightly flattened, squared-off inner counters that keep the forms compact and controlled. Overall spacing reads snug and efficient, with consistent forward slant and clean, sans-like construction.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its condensed width and sharp contrast can create strong vertical rhythm—headlines, cover lines, campaign posters, brand wordmarks, and fashion or lifestyle packaging. It can also work for subheads and pull quotes when given enough size and breathing room to keep hairline details clear.
The tone is stylish and assertive, with a runway/editorial feel driven by its steep slant and dramatic contrast. It suggests speed and modern sophistication while nodding to vintage display typography through its condensed, high-impact presence.
The design appears intended as a punchy display italic that maximizes impact in limited horizontal space. Its controlled geometry and disciplined tapering aim to deliver a sleek, contemporary look while preserving an elegant, high-contrast texture.
Uppercase forms feel rigid and architectural, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement in letters like a, g, j, and y through tapered descenders and fine hooks. Numerals share the same tall, narrow stance and pointed endings, helping mixed text maintain a unified, energetic texture.
