A sharply slanted, condensed sans with streamlined, slightly tapered strokes and clean terminals. Curves are drawn with an elliptical, drawn-in-one-direction feel, while straights keep a tight, upright rhythm despite the strong italic angle. Counters are compact and apertures tend toward narrow, giving the alphabet a fast, vertical cadence; the overall color stays even and controlled with just enough stroke modulation to keep forms lively. Numerals follow the same narrow, angled construction for a consistent texture in mixed settings.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and compact typographic layouts where space is limited and a sense of pace is desired. It can add a fashionable, editorial edge to branding, packaging, and promotional materials, especially when set in larger sizes or short text runs.
The font reads as swift and stylish, with a contemporary editorial tone. Its narrow, forward-leaning posture suggests motion and urgency, while the restrained detailing keeps it polished rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-saving italic voice for display and editorial typography, combining narrow proportions with a crisp, modern drawing style for impactful, high-pace settings.
The italic slant is pronounced across both cases, and the condensed proportions make spacing feel tight and efficient. Round letters like O and Q remain tall and slender, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s energetic, angular rhythm.
