A tall, tightly set sans with a pronounced rightward slant and extremely fine, monoline strokes. Letterforms are built from narrow verticals and restrained curves, with frequent, consistent breaks that create small stencil-like bridges across stems, bowls, and crossbars. Proportions are elongated with compact apertures and minimal stroke modulation, producing a crisp, skeletal rhythm; joins are clean and edges feel slightly calligraphic through the italic construction rather than contrast. Numerals follow the same slender, high-waisted structure, staying open and legible while maintaining the broken-stroke motif.
Best suited to display settings such as fashion/editorial headlines, posters, branding marks, and premium packaging where its slender silhouette and stencil breaks can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is refined and high-fashion, with a light, airy presence that reads as modernized vintage display. The stenciled interruptions add a subtle industrial/technical note, while the narrow slant keeps it sleek and kinetic rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to fuse an ultra-light, condensed italic sans with a disciplined stencil construction, creating a distinctive display voice that feels both elegant and engineered. The consistent placement of breaks suggests a deliberate modular system aimed at adding character without heavy ornament.
Because the strokes are so thin and the internal breaks are part of the design language, the face reads best when given enough size and breathing room; at smaller sizes the bridges and hairlines can visually soften. The sample text shows a consistent cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with the stencil cuts appearing systematic rather than distressed.
