A condensed italic sans with tall proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are clean and smoothly modulated, with rounded, softened joins that keep the forms from feeling rigid. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, and round letters read as narrow ovals with a subtly squared, superelliptical flavor. Overall spacing is tight but consistent, creating an even vertical rhythm and a refined, high-contrast-in-silhouette look without heavy stroke weight.
Best suited to display roles where its condensed italic stance can add motion and sophistication—magazine headlines, subheads, campaign lines, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short blocks of editorial text or captions when generous line spacing is available and a sleek, space-saving texture is desired.
The tone is polished and contemporary, with a quick, energetic cadence created by the narrow width and italic angle. It suggests an editorial or fashion sensibility—confident, streamlined, and slightly dramatic—while remaining restrained and legible.
The design appears aimed at delivering an elegant, space-efficient italic voice that feels modern and editorial. Its softened, superelliptical curves and controlled modulation prioritize a refined texture and strong directional flow for contemporary branding and headline typography.
The numerals follow the same condensed, slanted construction as the letters, helping mixed settings feel cohesive. Uppercase forms are particularly tall and linear, while lowercase maintains clarity through simple, open structures and minimal decorative detail.
