A tall, tightly condensed italic with a sharp, calligraphic rhythm and clear, squared slab terminals. Strokes are predominantly hairline with selective thickening, creating a crisp contrast pattern that reads as drawn rather than purely geometric. Serifs appear as narrow, unbracketed rectangular feet and caps, and many joins and terminals resolve into pointed or tapered endings. Counters are slender and vertical stress dominates, giving the alphabet a statuesque, high-fashion profile.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion branding, invitations, and poster titling where its condensed elegance can shine. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and a bit dramatic, with a runway/editorial flair. Its narrow, slanted silhouette and razor-like details feel vintage-modern—suited to designs aiming for chic refinement and a touch of theatricality.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, high-impact italic voice that merges slab-serif structure with a refined, drawn line quality. It prioritizes style and vertical elegance over neutral text utility, aiming for distinctive personality in headlines and branding.
The italic angle is consistent and pronounced, and several forms (notably in the uppercase and the numerals) lean into elongated proportions for a stylized, display-first impression. The thin strokes and tight interior spaces suggest it will look best when given room to breathe and when not set too small.
