A tall, condensed sans with a pronounced rightward slant and a largely monoline stroke. Forms are built from narrow ovals and long verticals, producing a high, clean rhythm with tight internal counters. Curves are smooth and restrained, terminals are simple and unadorned, and joins stay crisp, giving the alphabet a streamlined, upright-in-structure but forward-leaning profile.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed, slanted silhouette can add character without sacrificing clarity—magazine headlines, fashion lookbooks, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when generous line spacing is available.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a fashion-forward, editorial feel. Its narrow proportions and consistent slant create a sense of speed and polish, reading as contemporary and minimal rather than casual or rustic.
Designed to deliver an elegant, space-saving voice with a contemporary, forward-leaning motion. The intent appears to balance minimal sans construction with a stylized, editorial slant for distinctive titles and branding.
Uppercase shapes maintain a consistent narrow footprint, while the lowercase keeps open, legible apertures despite the condensed width. Numerals echo the same tall, slender construction, helping headings and mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
