A sharply slanted, ultra-condensed sans with extremely thin strokes and clean, taper-free terminals. The letterforms are tall and airy, with generous vertical rhythm and a consistent, streamlined construction that keeps curves smooth and controlled. Rounds are narrow and slightly squared-off in feel, giving bowls and counters a subtle superelliptical flavor rather than pure circles. Uppercase forms maintain a disciplined, architectural stance, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic cadence through long ascenders and occasional hooked or looped details (notably in letters like g and y). Numerals follow the same narrow, delicate pattern with open, elegant shapes suited to display sizing.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short editorial lines where its condensed, elegant slant can carry a page. It also works well for fashion and beauty identities, premium packaging accents, and event or cultural posters where a sleek, modern tone is desired. For longer text, it’s most effective in short, well-spaced passages at larger sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and contemporary, with a cool, editorial sophistication. Its extreme slenderness and pronounced slant read as stylish and kinetic, suggesting speed, luxury, and modernity rather than warmth or practicality. The spacing and narrow silhouettes create a refined, high-end feel associated with fashion and cultural publishing.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, space-saving display voice with a refined, editorial personality. Its narrow, superellipse-leaning rounds and ultra-light strokes prioritize elegance and speed over neutrality, aiming to stand out in titles and branding while maintaining a clean sans structure.
Because strokes are exceptionally thin and the design is tightly condensed, readability will drop quickly at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds; it performs best when given room, contrast, and careful tracking. The distinct, narrow superelliptical rounds help maintain visual consistency across curves, preventing the face from feeling wobbly despite the extreme proportions.
