A condensed oblique sans with tall proportions and a consistently light, near-monoline stroke. Curves are built from smooth, rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters an elongated, streamlined feel. Terminals are clean and largely unbracketed, with minimal modulation and no serifing; joins stay crisp even where strokes overlap in diagonals. Spacing is compact but controlled, producing a tight vertical rhythm and a continuous forward slant across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed, slanted rhythm can create impact—headlines, posters, logotypes, and brand wordmarks. It also works well for editorial pull quotes and fashion or lifestyle packaging where a clean, modern italic voice is desired. For long-form body copy, it will be most effective when set with generous leading and careful tracking to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with a fashion-forward, kinetic presence created by the narrow forms and pronounced slant. Its restraint and uniform stroke give it a refined, editorial character rather than a playful or rustic one. The rounded construction softens the condensed silhouette, keeping the voice polished and approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern italic sans that is space-efficient yet stylish, combining a strong forward motion with softened, rounded geometry. It prioritizes a smooth, continuous texture and a refined silhouette for contemporary branding and editorial typography.
Uppercase forms read as tall and architectural, while the lowercase keeps a relatively even texture with simple, loopless constructions in several letters. Numerals follow the same tall, streamlined logic, staying open and legible at display sizes. The strong slant and tight set give lines of text a fast, continuous flow, which can feel dramatic in longer passages.
