A condensed serif italic with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and sharp, with pointed joins and a calligraphic, stroke-driven feel that shows in the angled stress and lively curves. Proportions are tall and compact, producing a tight rhythm in text, and the overall silhouette reads sleek and emphatic without becoming ornate.
Well suited to magazine headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where a compact, upscale italic is desired. It can work for branding applications such as beauty, fragrance, or boutique hospitality identities, as well as book jackets and cultural posters that benefit from a sharp, elegant tone. For longer passages it will be most effective at comfortable sizes and with generous line spacing to preserve clarity.
This typeface projects a classic, editorial elegance with a distinctly refined, fashion-forward tone. The steep slant and sharp contrast add drama and a sense of motion, while the restrained, compact texture keeps it poised and formal rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic voice for display and short text, combining classical serif structure with a more fashion-oriented, high-drama contrast. Its narrow footprint suggests an aim to pack words into limited space while still feeling premium and expressive.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same steep italic rhythm and razor-thin hairlines, giving a consistent, polished texture across mixed content. The overall color in text is dark and assertive, with fine details that reward clean reproduction and sufficient resolution.
