A condensed italic sans with tall proportions and a forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes show clear tapering and modulation, with softened corners and subtly rounded terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Bowls and counters are generally open and upright within the slant, while verticals feel slightly elastic, giving the line a lively, hand-drawn energy without losing consistency. The overall color on the page is airy, and the narrow set creates a tight, vertical cadence well suited to compact settings.
Works especially well for headlines, subheads, and short editorial lines where a condensed italic can add emphasis without taking much horizontal space. Its distinctive modulation and tall silhouette also suit branding, packaging, and poster typography where a fashionable, energetic tone is desired.
The face reads as sleek and contemporary with a hint of whimsy. Its narrow, slanted stance evokes fashion and magazine styling—confident and urbane—while the rounded terminals and gentle stroke flare add friendliness and character. The result feels expressive without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to provide a compact, stylish italic voice that stands apart from neutral grotesks while staying clean and legible. The combination of condensed proportions and controlled contrast suggests an emphasis on editorial impact and typographic flavor in display and short-text applications.
In running text the spacing appears relatively even for a condensed italic, producing a continuous, streamlined flow. The numeral forms follow the same condensed, tapered logic, helping mixed text and display settings feel cohesive.
