A condensed italic sans with smooth, elliptical curves and clean, tapering terminals. Strokes are consistently thin with subtle contrast that reads as gentle modulation rather than hard thick–thin calligraphy. Proportions are tall and narrow, with open counters and generous internal space that keeps forms like C, G, O, and e from feeling cramped. The rhythm is even and linear, with rounded joins and a controlled slant that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and compact editorial layouts where a tall, narrow italic can add emphasis without heavy color on the page. It can also work well for branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, space-efficient typographic voice, especially at display sizes and short-to-medium line lengths.
The overall tone is quiet and polished—light on its feet, modern, and slightly fashionable. Its narrow, slanted stance gives it a brisk, editorial energy while the soft curves keep it approachable rather than technical. It suggests understated sophistication suitable for premium or design-forward contexts.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant, space-saving italic with a clean sans construction and a smooth, continuous reading texture. It prioritizes vertical economy and a refined silhouette while keeping letterforms simple, open, and consistent for modern typographic systems.
Uppercase forms are streamlined and minimal, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably the single-storey a and g) and tidy punctuation. Numerals match the same narrow, upright-leaning style and feel suited to compact settings where a consistent vertical texture is desired.
