A slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and noticeably condensed proportions. Curves are drawn with smooth, elliptical geometry and open counters, while terminals are clean and lightly finished rather than blunt. Uppercase forms are tall and spacious with generous interior whitespace, and lowercase shapes keep a calm rhythm with long ascenders/descenders and simple construction. Numerals follow the same light, linear logic, staying unobtrusive and evenly spaced in text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, subheads, posters, and brand or packaging typography where a light, stylish voice is desired. It can work for captions or secondary text in spacious layouts, but the thin strokes favor larger sizes and clean reproduction.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, projecting a contemporary, design-forward feel without becoming flashy. Its thin strokes and leaning stance create a sense of speed and lightness, giving layouts an airy, editorial polish.
The design appears intended to offer a minimal, condensed italic voice for modern display typography—prioritizing elegance, economy of width, and smooth geometric curves to create a refined typographic color in contemporary layouts.
In the sample text, the narrow set and light color produce a delicate texture, especially on long lines; it reads best when allowed breathing room and when contrast against the background is strong. The italic angle is steady across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
