A condensed italic with hairline-thin strokes and clear contrast between main stems and joining curves. Forms are tall and tightly set, with smooth, continuous curves and sharply tapered terminals that create a crisp, pen-like finish without obvious serifs. The overall rhythm is vertical and streamlined, with narrow bowls, compact apertures, and a consistent rightward slant; counters remain open enough to keep the texture from collapsing at display sizes. Numerals follow the same slender, slightly calligraphic construction, matching the uppercase’s long verticals and the lowercase’s poised, looped shapes.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short editorial statements where its narrow width and fine contrast can read cleanly. It can work well for fashion, beauty, and luxury branding, as well as posters or packaging accents, especially when given ample size and whitespace.
The tone is sleek and upscale, leaning toward fashion and contemporary editorial styling. Its thin, angled silhouette feels sophisticated and delicate, with a hint of dramatic flair from the contrast and elongated proportions.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant, space-saving italic voice that feels modern and high-end. The condensed proportions and delicate stroke work suggest an emphasis on display impact and refined typographic color rather than rugged, long-form readability.
Capitals read as disciplined and architectural, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved entries and occasional looped details, creating a refined contrast in voice. The extreme thinness and compression make it visually striking but also more sensitive to size and background contrast in practical use.
