A condensed italic display sans with pronounced stroke modulation and a strong vertical stress. Curves are drawn with smooth, rounded-rectangle logic, while joins and terminals taper to fine points, giving letters a sharpened, cut-in feel. The rhythm is upright and disciplined despite the slant, with tall proportions, tight counters, and a slightly elastic width across glyphs that keeps text lively. Numerals follow the same sleek, high-contrast construction, with elegant curves and narrow figures that align well in a typographic line.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where a sleek, high-style presence is desired. It also works well on posters and packaging that benefit from a condensed, elegant italic voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is stylish and editorial, balancing refinement with drama. Its thin hairlines and sharp tapers read as premium and fashion-forward, while the condensed stance adds a sense of urgency and sophistication typical of magazine typography.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, fashion-leaning italic with strong contrast and compact proportions, providing a distinctive display texture without decorative extras. The rounded-rectangle curve language and tapered endings suggest an emphasis on refined movement and a polished, editorial finish.
The font relies on delicate hairlines and tapered strokes, so it visually rewards generous tracking and clean reproduction. In longer settings, the narrow forms and strong contrast create an energetic texture, with particularly prominent vertical strokes and crisp, minimal terminals.
