A highly condensed italic sans with extremely slender strokes and a clean, monolinear feel. Curves are drawn as tall, narrow ovals with softly rounded corners, giving counters a smooth, superelliptical character. The slant is consistent and the spacing is restrained, producing a vertical, high-tension rhythm. Terminals are plain and crisp, with minimal modulation and no decorative detailing, emphasizing a refined, stripped-back silhouette.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion or lifestyle branding, posters, and elegant title treatments where height and italic motion can be showcased. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but performs most confidently when given enough size and breathing room to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is sleek and sophisticated, with a quiet drama created by the extreme narrowness and continuous italic flow. It feels contemporary and design-forward—more runway/editorial than utilitarian—suggesting speed, luxury, and restraint rather than friendliness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion italic voice in a minimal sans framework—prioritizing verticality, sophistication, and a distinctive narrow silhouette over everyday text neutrality.
Uppercase forms read particularly tall and linear, while lowercase maintains a modest x-height and long ascenders/descenders that add elegance in running text. Numerals follow the same condensed, calligraphic-leaning italic posture, staying light and unobtrusive. Because of the hairline construction and tight proportions, the font’s personality is strongest at larger sizes where the fine strokes and narrow counters remain clear.
