A slanted sans with tall, condensed proportions and an airy, lightly weighted color. Strokes are smooth and largely monolinear with subtle modulation, and terminals tend to be tapered or softly finished rather than blunt. Curves are drawn with a gentle, calligraphic swing—especially visible in the bowls and S-forms—while verticals remain narrow and upright in their rhythm despite the overall italic angle. Lowercase forms are compact with a comparatively small x-height, giving the face a high-waisted look and emphasizing ascenders and descenders.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its narrow, slanted silhouette can add sophistication and motion. It can also work well in fashion, lifestyle, and cultural branding, packaging, and poster work where an elegant, editorial voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and slightly theatrical, balancing minimal, modern construction with a handwritten lilt. It reads as stylish and cultured, lending a distinctive voice that feels more expressive than neutral without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to provide an italic-led, condensed sans that delivers elegance and personality while staying clean and readable. Its proportions and tapered finishing suggest a focus on high-impact typography in display contexts rather than utilitarian text settings.
The numerals follow the same narrow, flowing logic, with open counters and graceful curves that keep the set feeling consistent with the letters. In text, the pronounced slant and condensed spacing create a quick, kinetic rhythm that favors display sizes and short passages over dense, long-form reading.
