A slender, highly condensed sans with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, rounded construction. Strokes are even and linear, with gently tapered joins and softened terminals that keep the texture calm and continuous. The proportions are tall and narrow, with open counters and ample interior space despite the tight width, producing a crisp vertical rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Figures follow the same streamlined, oval-led logic, reading clearly while maintaining the font’s narrow footprint.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a condensed silhouette can save space while staying legible. It can also work effectively for branding, packaging, and poster typography that benefits from an elegant, fast-moving italic texture.
The overall tone feels modern and editorial, combining lightness with a poised, polished presence. Its italic posture adds momentum and sophistication, lending a fashion-forward or contemporary literary feel without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans italic with an elegant, editorial voice. Its narrow proportions and consistent slant prioritize a sleek line rhythm and a refined, modern impression in display and short text settings.
Capitals maintain a restrained, geometric simplicity, while lowercase forms keep a smooth, slightly calligraphic flow through curved letters and angled joins. The narrow set and steady slant create a pronounced vertical cadence that looks especially cohesive in longer lines of text.
