A slender, right-slanted italic with smooth, round construction and clean terminals. Strokes show subtle modulation, giving curves a gently calligraphic feel without becoming decorative. Proportions are tall and condensed, with open counters and generous apertures that keep the forms legible despite the narrow set. The uppercase is streamlined and vertical in feeling even while slanted, while the lowercase is compact with single-storey shapes and simple, upright stems and diagonals; numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial settings where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can work well for fashion or lifestyle branding, posters, and packaging where a tall, condensed silhouette helps fit more text while preserving a refined look.
The overall tone is sleek and cultivated, reading as contemporary and stylish rather than neutral. Its light footprint and steady slant suggest speed and sophistication, with a calm, editorial polish.
Likely designed to provide a stylish, space-efficient italic that stays clean and contemporary, offering an elegant voice for display and editorial typography while maintaining readable, open forms.
The narrow sidebearings and consistent forward lean create a tight, continuous texture in text, making lines feel fast and cohesive. Round letters maintain a smooth, elliptical flow, and straight strokes stay crisp, reinforcing a clean, modern finish.
