A tall, condensed italic with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, blade-like terminals. Strokes are tensioned and angular in places, with narrow counters and a strong forward slant that creates a fast, directional rhythm. Curves are tightly controlled and ovals feel upright but compressed, while joins and diagonals read sharp and clean, giving the design a sculpted, high-definition look.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and slant can do the heavy lifting: magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, poster titles, and brand marks. It also works well for short, high-impact lines on packaging or campaign graphics, particularly when set with generous tracking and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is stylish and assertive, blending refined elegance with a slightly aggressive, high-fashion edge. Its steep slant and stark contrast communicate speed, luxury, and drama, making the voice feel contemporary and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary italic voice with strong contrast and a condensed footprint, prioritizing punchy silhouettes and upscale visual tension for display-led typography.
Uppercase forms appear especially compact and vertical, creating a strong headline silhouette; the italic construction stays consistent across letters and figures. The numerals match the same condensed, high-contrast logic, helping mixed typography maintain a cohesive, editorial feel.
