A condensed italic with tall, high-waisted proportions and a smooth, continuous rightward slant. Strokes show clear modulation, with tapered joins and narrowed terminals that feel pen-influenced rather than purely geometric. Curves are drawn with a slightly elastic, flowing tension, while straighter strokes stay crisp and upright in their construction, creating a lively rhythm. Counters are compact and vertical, and spacing appears tight in capitals with a slightly more relaxed feel in lowercase, reinforcing a punchy, streamlined texture in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its condensed italic texture can create impact—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titles, and pull quotes. It can also work for subheads or short captions when a refined, stylized voice is desired, though the narrow proportions and lively modulation favor larger sizes over extended body text.
The overall tone is poised and stylish, projecting a polished, editorial sophistication with a touch of theatrical flair. Its narrow, slanted forms read as contemporary and fashion-aware, while the stroke modulation adds a classic, calligraphic elegance. The result feels confident and upscale, suited to attention-grabbing typography that still maintains refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, high-fashion italic voice that balances modern condensation with calligraphic stroke shaping. Its emphasis on height, slant, and tapered modulation suggests a focus on expressive display typography that remains clean and controlled.
The uppercase set reads especially tall and display-oriented, while the lowercase shows more personality through varied curve tension and occasional looped or hooked details. Numerals follow the same condensed, italic logic and appear designed to blend smoothly with running text rather than stand apart as strictly utilitarian figures.
