A sharply condensed italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. The letterforms are tall and streamlined, with tight proportions and long, clean curves that taper into fine, hairline serifs and pointed terminals. Stems and diagonals feel crisp and controlled, while bowls and counters remain narrow, creating a dense, linear rhythm. Numerals follow the same sleek, high-contrast model, with narrow set widths and delicate finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, fashion and beauty applications, and high-impact posters where the condensed italic silhouette and contrast can shine. It can also work for short pull quotes or brand wordmarks, particularly where a refined, upscale voice is desired and sizes are large enough to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, leaning toward high-fashion and classic editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and steep italic movement give it a sense of speed and prestige, reading as formal and curated rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, condensed take on high-contrast italic serifs, prioritizing elegance and dramatic emphasis. Its tight width and crisp detailing suggest a focus on attention-grabbing typography for display and editorial settings rather than extended, small-size reading.
Across the alphabet, the consistent narrow set and sharp tapering produce a cohesive, display-leaning texture. In longer lines the compact spacing and hairlines can create a dark, vertical color with sparkling highlights, especially where thin serifs and joins cluster.
