A condensed oblique sans with compact proportions and a tall, upright silhouette despite the slant. Strokes show clear modulation for a sans, with sharper joins and tapered terminals that keep counters open and forms crisp. Curves are clean and slightly taut, while straight stems and diagonals feel brisk and controlled, producing a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture in text. Figures match the narrow set and read cleanly, with simple, modern construction that stays consistent across the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial settings where a condensed italic voice can add pace and emphasis. It also works well for branding and packaging that needs a sleek, space-saving wordmark or short bursts of text, and for posters where tight columns and strong typographic color are desired.
The overall tone feels modern and urbane, with a hint of mid-century display character. Its narrow, slanted stance creates energy and motion, giving headlines a cool, editorial sharpness without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to provide an efficient, high-impact italic companion for modern sans typography—combining a compact footprint with a dynamic slant for emphasis and display use. The controlled modulation and crisp terminals suggest an aim for clarity at larger sizes while maintaining a distinctive editorial flavor.
Uppercase forms emphasize verticality and compact spacing, which intensifies color in lines of text. The lowercase maintains straightforward, readable shapes while preserving the condensed, slanted cadence, making the font feel purposeful and efficient on the page.
