A condensed, steeply slanted sans with extreme contrast between weighty main strokes and razor-thin hairlines. Forms are tall and tightly set with a strong vertical rhythm, while diagonals and entry strokes sharpen into knife-like terminals. Curves are compact and tense, counters are narrow, and joins often taper into fine points, creating a crisp, high-fashion silhouette. The overall texture is punchy and graphic, with delicate lines used sparingly as accents against dense black strokes.
Best suited to large-size typography where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, event posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments, but is less ideal for dense body copy or low-resolution environments where fine strokes may disappear.
The font projects a runway/editorial attitude: assertive, stylish, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp contrasts and forward lean create a sense of speed and intensity, reading as modern and luxe rather than casual or neutral.
The design appears intended as a statement display italic: maximizing drama through condensed proportions, extreme stroke modulation, and sharp terminals to create an editorial, luxury-forward voice.
Several glyphs use conspicuously thin strokes as structural accents (notably in diagonals and interior joins), which heightens the dramatic look but can make small sizes feel fragile. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, keeping the set visually unified in display settings.
