A condensed, strongly slanted serif with striking thick–thin modulation and vertical stress. The design pairs stout main strokes with needle-like hairlines, producing crisp triangular/wedge serifs and sharply tapered terminals. Counters are relatively compact and the rhythm is tight, while ascenders and capitals feel tall and disciplined. Curves and joins are handled with a slightly calligraphic sweep, giving letters a polished, sculpted silhouette that stays consistent across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, editorial layouts, and brand marks where the high contrast can read cleanly. It can also work for packaging and event materials that benefit from a sophisticated, attention-grabbing voice; for longer passages, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and with careful spacing.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, evoking magazine typography and high-end branding. Its pronounced contrast and swift italic motion add a sense of speed, elegance, and theatrical emphasis, making it feel refined rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver an expressive, high-contrast italic voice that feels both classic and contemporary. Its narrow proportions and razor-thin details prioritize visual impact and elegance, aiming for a premium editorial look with crisp, stylish emphasis.
In text, the dense spacing and delicate hairlines create an energetic texture that rewards larger sizes and high-quality reproduction. The figures follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and slender connecting strokes that match the letterforms’ sharp, fashion-oriented character.
