A sharply condensed italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, largely unbracketed hairline serifs. The forms are tall and upright in proportion but consistently slanted, with narrow counters and a tight overall footprint. Stems carry strong vertical emphasis while joins and curves taper quickly into fine terminals, giving the letters a razor-edged rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same sleek, elongated logic, producing a refined, high-tension texture in continuous text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, pull quotes, and title treatments where its condensed italic silhouette can create strong vertical emphasis. It can also work for short editorial subheads or captions when set with comfortable tracking and adequate size to preserve the fine details.
The font projects a polished, fashion-forward tone—luxurious and assertive rather than relaxed. Its narrow, high-contrast italic voice feels theatrical and upscale, suited to settings that want elegance with a hint of drama.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-efficient display serif with a distinctly editorial, high-fashion sensibility. By combining extreme contrast, narrow proportions, and a consistent italic slant, it aims to create striking typographic impact and a premium feel.
Stroke contrast is visually dominant, so the face reads best when allowed sufficient size and spacing; in dense settings the hairlines and tight apertures can appear delicate. The italic construction is consistent across cases, with a forward-leaning cadence that reinforces a fast, stylish flow in headlines.
