A tall, condensed sans with a pronounced italic slant and extremely light strokes. Forms are streamlined and simplified, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters in letters such as O, C, and D, and a tight, vertical rhythm that emphasizes height over width. Stroke endings are clean and unembellished, while the construction favors narrow apertures, compact bowls, and long ascenders/descenders; the overall texture is crisp and open due to the thin weight and generous internal whitespace.
Best suited to large sizes where its thin strokes and condensed shapes can stay crisp: fashion/editorial headlines, poster titling, brand marks, packaging accents, and refined promotional layouts. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes when ample tracking and line spacing are available.
The overall tone is poised and fashion-oriented—cool, minimal, and a little dramatic because of the steep slant and elongated proportions. It reads as premium and editorial, with a delicate, airy presence suited to sophisticated layouts rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary italic voice with maximum elegance in minimal stroke weight. Its superellipse-based round forms and condensed proportions aim for a distinctive editorial signature and a high-end, modern brand feel.
The uppercase shows striking, high-contrast silhouettes created primarily by proportion (very tall and narrow) rather than heavy stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same condensed, elongated logic, giving a consistent, runway-style cadence across letters and figures.
