A tightly condensed serif italic with a strong rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into sharp, knife-like terminals and small flared serifs, giving many letters a chiseled, wedge-cut feel rather than bracketed, bookish detailing. Counters are narrow and vertical stress is emphasized, while ascenders and capitals read tall and streamlined. The overall rhythm is energetic and spiky, with crisp joins and pointed apexes that keep the texture dense and assertive in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, magazine/editorial typography, fashion or entertainment branding, and poster work where a compact, striking italic presence is needed. It can add punch to short subheads, pull quotes, and logotype-style wordmarks, especially when set with generous line spacing to let the sharp details breathe.
The tone is dramatic and high-fashion, projecting luxury, intensity, and a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp, tapered forms suggest speed and attitude, making it feel more like a display italic than a quiet reading face.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, condensed display italic that prioritizes glamour and impact. Its tapered serifs and razor terminals aim to create a distinctive silhouette and a sense of motion, favoring expressive personality over neutral text utility.
Digits follow the same narrow, tapering construction and maintain the steep italic stance, producing a cohesive set for headlines. The condensed proportions and sharp terminals create strong word shapes at larger sizes, but also make spacing and legibility feel intentionally tight and stylized.
