A sharply slanted, condensed sans with long vertical stems and smooth, rounded bowls. Curves are clean and continuous, with minimal modulation and consistently open counters, giving letters a tall, streamlined silhouette. Terminals are generally straight and tidy, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact letterforms that keep word shapes narrow and uniform.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where a narrow footprint is useful and the slant can add energy. It can work well in magazine layouts, brand marks, and packaging that aim for a sleek, modern voice, particularly where horizontal space is limited.
The tone is crisp and contemporary, with a fashion-forward, editorial feel. Its narrow, leaning forms read as agile and refined rather than heavy or mechanical, lending a sense of speed and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, space-saving italicized sans for display use, balancing compact proportions with smooth curves for a refined, high-clarity texture.
Round letters like O and Q are notably tall and oval, reinforcing the compressed footprint. The figures follow the same condensed, slanted logic, maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
