A condensed, monoline sans with a pronounced rightward slant and tall, elongated proportions. Strokes stay consistently thin with smooth, rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and terminals, producing a clean, continuous rhythm. Counters are generally open and vertical, and joins are kept simple and crisp; angled forms like V, W, X, and Y are sharply tapered while round letters like O, Q, and e retain softened, superelliptical geometry. Numerals follow the same slender, streamlined construction with minimal modulation and generous internal space for the weight.
Best suited to display contexts where its slender, condensed silhouette can create height and pace—magazine headlines, brand wordmarks, posters, and elegant packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or captions when ample size and spacing are available, but the extremely fine strokes call for careful contrast and printing conditions.
The overall tone is airy and elegant, with a fashion-forward, contemporary feel. Its narrow, slanted stance reads quick and sophisticated, suggesting motion and a lightly technical polish rather than warmth or heaviness.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-saving italic voice that feels modern and premium, combining monoline simplicity with softened, superelliptical curves for a controlled, polished texture.
Curves tend to resolve with subtle rounding rather than abrupt cuts, which helps the type feel smooth even at very thin weight. The lowercase shows distinct loop-and-stem constructions (notably in g, a, and q), adding a slightly calligraphic flavor while staying firmly sans in structure.
