A compact, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tightly drawn proportions. Stems are muscular and tapered into sharp wedge-like terminals, with small, crisp serifs and pointed joins that emphasize a fast, cut-pen feel. Counters are relatively narrow and vertically stressed, while curves (notably in S, C, and 8/9) show strong contrast and clean, swept shaping. The overall rhythm is tight and energetic, with narrow letterforms and brisk diagonals giving lines a dense, forward-moving texture.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, deck text, posters, and brand marks where a dense, elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, especially when you want a compact footprint with high visual impact.
The tone is polished and assertive, combining classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, fashion-forward slant. Its sharp contrast and condensed presence create a sense of urgency and sophistication, reading as premium and attention-grabbing rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed, high-style serif voice with dramatic contrast and forward motion, echoing traditional italic construction while prioritizing punch and refinement in contemporary editorial settings.
At text sizes the dense spacing and strong contrast can create a dark, lively color, while at display sizes the knife-like terminals and tapered strokes become the main personality drivers. Numerals are similarly narrow and stylized, matching the brisk, editorial pace of the letters.
