This typeface is a slanted, condensed sans with pronounced stroke contrast and a clean, upright skeleton. Curves transition into tapered terminals, with many strokes thinning to sharp points that give the letters a crisp, incisive edge. Counters are relatively open for the narrow proportions, and the overall rhythm is smooth and continuous, with a noticeable forward motion. Uppercase forms stay streamlined and tall, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic modulation in bowls and joins, creating a lively texture in text.
It works best for display-led settings where its contrast and tapered terminals can read clearly—fashion branding, magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and premium packaging. In short text and larger sizes it delivers a sleek, editorial voice; in longer passages it creates a distinctive, energetic texture when used with ample spacing.
The overall tone feels polished and stylish, balancing modern minimalism with a hint of hand-drawn sophistication. Its sharp tapers and brisk slant read as confident and energetic, while the restrained shapes keep it composed and upscale.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, condensed italic voice with refined contrast—combining the cleanliness of a sans structure with tapered, calligraphic detailing for a high-end, editorial feel.
Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, with distinctive, flowing curves on forms like 2, 3, and 9 and a very slim 1. The capital W and V appear particularly narrow and angular, reinforcing the vertical, runway-like stance, while rounded letters such as O and Q maintain smooth, elongated ovals with delicate stroke endings.
