A tall, condensed sans with an oblique slant and monoline construction. Curves are smoothly rounded and tend toward superelliptical geometry, while terminals are clean and understated. The rhythm is narrow and vertical, with compact bowls and a generally open, simplified skeleton that stays consistent across cases and figures.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and branding where its condensed, elegant silhouette can provide a distinctive voice. It can also work for short editorial subheads or packaging labels where a light, contemporary feel is desired, especially with generous spacing and larger sizes.
The overall tone feels light, refined, and quietly modern. Its slim, leaning stance reads as stylish and editorial rather than utilitarian, giving text a graceful, fashion-forward cadence without overt decorative gestures.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-efficient sans for display typography, combining condensed proportions with rounded, superelliptical curves to keep the texture soft and polished. The oblique posture adds motion and sophistication while preserving a clean, modern structure.
Capitals and numerals share a similarly elongated proportion, creating a unified vertical texture in headlines and short lines. Rounded forms (like O/0 and the bowls in letters) keep the narrow construction from feeling brittle, while the restrained detailing maintains a crisp, minimal presence.
