A condensed italic serif with striking contrast between hairline joins and heavy stems, producing a crisp, sculpted texture. Strokes show pronounced tapering and flared, wedge-like terminals, with sharp entry/exit points that feel cut rather than rounded. The rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with tight letterfit and compact counters that keep words dense and graphic. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast, tapered construction, creating a cohesive, display-oriented set.
Well suited to headlines, magazine covers and spreads, and other editorial applications where a stylish italic voice is desired. It can also work for branding, packaging, and promotional typography that needs a sharp, upscale presence, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining classic editorial sophistication with a distinctly dramatic, high-fashion edge. Its sharp tapers and fast italic movement suggest speed, confidence, and a curated luxury feel rather than casual readability.
Likely designed to deliver a dramatic, fashion-forward italic serif with strong contrast and distinctive flared terminals—prioritizing impact and a refined voice over neutral, long-form text comfort.
In text, the dense spacing and strong contrast create a bold, inky stripe; the design reads best when given room to breathe and when hairlines won’t be lost. Pointed terminals and flared endings add a distinctive signature that stands out in short phrases and large sizes.
