A condensed serif italic with a tall, compact silhouette and pronounced vertical stress. Thick main stems contrast strongly with very fine hairlines and pointed, unbracketed serifs, giving the letterforms a crisp, cut-in feel. Curves are tightly drawn and slightly squared off in places, with narrow counters and a steady, forward-leaning rhythm that keeps lines of text dense and energetic. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained width and sharp finishing, maintaining a consistent, punchy texture.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial typography, and display settings where a condensed line can deliver impact in limited width. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a refined, high-fashion or premium voice, especially in short phrases and titles.
The font conveys a dramatic, upscale tone—confident and slightly theatrical, with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp contrast and condensed italic stance suggest sophistication and urgency rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum contrast and presence in a compact footprint, combining classic serif structure with an emphatic italic drive. Its details prioritize visual drama and elegance for display-led typography.
In text, the strong contrast and tight apertures create a dark, high-impact color, while the italic angle adds momentum. The design’s pointed serifs and abrupt stroke transitions read best when given enough size and spacing to avoid crowding the fine details.
