A tall, condensed sans with a consistent monoline stroke and a pronounced forward slant. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, giving bowls and counters a smooth, slightly squared-off softness rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and understated, with simple joins and restrained detailing that keeps the letterforms crisp even at very thin strokes. Overall rhythm is vertical and streamlined, with compact apertures and a refined, tightly spaced silhouette in running text.
Best suited to display sizes where its tall condensed profile and italic energy can lead a layout—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial typography, brand wordmarks, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or captions when ample size and contrast are available, but it will be most effective when used sparingly and given room to breathe.
The font projects a sleek, fashion-forward tone: quiet, precise, and slightly dramatic due to its height and slant. It reads as contemporary and polished, with a light, airy presence that feels premium and editorial rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a refined, space-efficient italic sans for contemporary layouts, combining condensed proportions with soft superelliptical curves to keep the tone modern and elegant while remaining clean and minimal.
In the samples, the narrow proportions and thin strokes emphasize whitespace and create a continuous vertical cadence across lines. Round characters like O/0 and curved lowercase forms maintain the same soft-rectangular curvature, reinforcing a cohesive, modern shape language across letters and numerals.
