A tall, condensed italic sans with a monoline stroke and gently rounded terminals. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a smooth, superelliptic feel, while verticals remain straight and tightly spaced. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm is narrow and vertical, with compact widths and open, simplified joins that keep the texture even in longer lines.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where a condensed, italic voice can add pace and style without heavy weight. It works well in magazines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, posters, and brand systems that need a modern, space-saving typographic accent. In UI and dense copy it can function as a secondary style for emphasis, pull quotes, or navigation where narrow width is beneficial.
The tone is sleek and contemporary, with an airy, refined presence that feels fashion-forward and editorial. Its narrow, forward-leaning stance adds momentum and urgency without becoming loud, making it feel polished, efficient, and slightly sophisticated.
The design appears intended as a contemporary condensed italic for display-driven typography, prioritizing a sleek silhouette, efficient horizontal footprint, and a smooth rounded-rectangle geometry that stays consistent across the character set.
Capital forms are streamlined and upright in structure despite the slant, with rounded corners softening the condensed skeleton. Lowercase shapes stay simple and readable, with a single-storey ‘a’ and a compact ‘g’, and the figures are similarly slender, aligning well with the text’s vertical cadence.
