A condensed, right-slanted sans with subtly calligraphic construction and gently tapered terminals. Strokes show noticeable modulation for a sans, with curved joins and softened corners that keep the texture smooth rather than mechanical. Counters are compact and oval, apertures are fairly open, and the overall rhythm is tight, producing an efficient vertical pattern in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted logic with elegant curves and restrained detailing.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a condensed, energetic voice helps fit more characters per line without feeling cramped. The polished slant makes it well suited to magazine layouts, fashion/beauty branding, poster typography, and packaging that benefits from a sleek, modern tone.
The font conveys a brisk, contemporary tone—lean, fast, and slightly refined. Its slant and modulation add a fashion/editorial energy while keeping a clean, understated presence suitable for modern communication.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving italic voice that still feels smooth and contemporary, blending sans simplicity with a hint of pen-like modulation to add sophistication in display settings.
Round letters (like C, O, Q) read as tall ellipses, reinforcing the compressed horizontal footprint. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the spacing appears tuned for continuous reading despite the narrow set.
