A tall, tightly set italic sans with a delicate, nearly monoline stroke and open interior counters. Curves are smooth and rounded, giving bowls and rounds a soft, superelliptical feel, while joins stay crisp and uncluttered. The overall rhythm is vertical and streamlined, with long ascenders/descenders and compact widths that keep words narrow and column-friendly. Numerals follow the same slender, slightly calligraphic slant, maintaining consistent color and spacing across mixed text.
Well suited to magazine and web editorial typography, narrow headlines, and subheads where space is limited but a stylish voice is needed. It can also work for branding, packaging, and poster titling that benefits from a sleek italic presence; for longer passages it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading.
The font reads as poised and contemporary, with a fashion/editorial polish and a light, agile tone. Its narrow italic stance adds motion and sophistication without feeling decorative, creating a quiet sense of urgency and style.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-fashion italic sans voice—combining modern rounded construction with a refined, minimal stroke to create an efficient, distinctive text silhouette for display and editorial hierarchy.
Uppercase forms are especially elongated, producing a strong headline silhouette, while lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and restrained detailing. The overall texture stays even in running samples, with a smooth diagonal flow that can emphasize emphasis or hierarchy when used sparingly.
