A condensed, monoline alphabet with a pronounced rightward slant and generous vertical proportions. Strokes are uniformly thin and smooth, with oval curves that stay taut and elongated rather than round. Many glyphs are constructed with deliberate breaks and tiny bridges, creating an interrupted, cut-out rhythm across stems and bowls while keeping letterforms legible. Uppercase forms read tall and streamlined; lowercase follows a similarly narrow, upright-leaning skeleton with simple, linear terminals and occasional looped forms in characters like g and y. Figures are equally slender, with open counters and a light, wiry presence.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, condensed stance and interrupted strokes can read as intentional texture—headlines, title treatments, posters, and branding marks. It can add a distinctive voice to packaging or editorial pull quotes, particularly in layouts aiming for a retro-modern or boutique aesthetic.
The overall tone feels sleek and stylized, evoking retro display typography with a refined, fashion-forward edge. The broken-stroke construction adds a crafted, technical flavor—like signage or cut lettering—while the thin, slanted forms keep it elegant rather than industrial.
Likely designed to deliver a stylish condensed italic with a distinctive interrupted-stroke motif, combining elegant proportions with a repeatable cut-letter texture for thematic, attention-grabbing typography.
Spacing in the sample text shows a consistent, tight rhythm that emphasizes verticality; the stencil-like interruptions become a repeating texture across words. The font’s light build and narrow set suggest it will benefit from ample size or contrasty layout contexts to maintain clarity, especially where the breaks occur in small interior details.
