A tightly condensed italic serif with striking thick–thin modulation and a pronounced forward slant. Strokes end in tapered, flared terminals and sharp wedge-like feet, with bracketed joins that keep the forms crisp rather than soft. Counters are compact and vertical stress is evident throughout, producing a glossy, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase shows a compact, steady x-height with energetic ascenders/descenders and tightly drawn bowls that reinforce the narrow set.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where its condensed width and crisp contrast can command attention—magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, branding lockups, and premium packaging. It can also work for short, high-impact subheads or pull quotes, especially where a sleek italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and stylish, combining classic serif refinement with a sleek, modern edge. Its assertive slant and bright contrast read as confident and performance-oriented, suggesting fashion, nightlife, or cinematic titling rather than quiet editorial text.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic display serif: narrow, fast-moving letterforms with flared finishing to deliver elegance with bite. Its construction prioritizes silhouette, contrast, and rhythm for titling and branding applications where personality and presence are paramount.
In continuous setting the narrow measure and steep contrast create strong texture and a sense of speed; spacing feels intentionally tight to maintain momentum. The numerals and capitals carry the same tapered, flared finishing, helping headings feel cohesive across mixed-case and figure use.
