A tall, slender sans with a pronounced rightward slant and a very light, even stroke. Forms are clean and largely monoline, with rounded bowls and smooth elliptical curves paired with sharp, angled terminals. Proportions are condensed with generous vertical reach, producing a high, linear rhythm; counters stay open and uncluttered, and spacing feels relatively tight in text due to the narrow letterforms. The numerals follow the same narrow, upright-leaning construction, with simple, continuous strokes and minimal detailing.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial typography, and large-format statements where its narrow, airy structure can add sophistication without visual heaviness. It can also work for branding accents and packaging where a sleek, refined voice is needed, especially when paired with a sturdier companion for body copy.
The overall tone is elegant and understated, leaning toward a fashion-forward, editorial feel. Its thin, elongated silhouettes convey delicacy and sophistication while keeping a contemporary, minimal presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-saving italic voice with a graceful, contemporary silhouette. Its consistent light stroke and condensed proportions prioritize elegance and atmosphere over dense, long-form readability.
Diagonal and vertical strokes dominate the texture, creating a consistent forward motion across lines. The design reads best when set with ample size or line spacing so the fine strokes and tight proportions have room to breathe.
