A tall, condensed italic sans with an extremely light, monoline stroke and generous interior whitespace. Curves are softly squared-off, giving round letters a subtle superelliptical feel rather than perfect circles, while joins and terminals stay clean and unadorned. The slant is consistent and the rhythm is even, with narrow counters, compact widths, and a generally streamlined, vertical proportion despite the italic angle. Numerals follow the same thin, elongated construction, reading as graceful outlines with minimal stroke emphasis.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine/editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and refined packaging. It works especially well when set large with generous tracking and line spacing, where its thin strokes and narrow proportions can read crisply.
The overall tone is polished and understated, with a delicate, high-end sensibility. Its narrow, whisper-thin presence feels contemporary and stylish, leaning more toward editorial sophistication than utility text.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-saving italic voice that feels premium and contemporary. Its superelliptical rounding and ultra-light construction suggest a focus on elegance and visual economy for high-impact display typography.
Because the strokes are so fine and the letterforms are tightly proportioned, the design’s clarity relies on ample size and breathing room. The rounded-rectangle curvature adds a distinctive, controlled softness that keeps the condensed forms from feeling harsh.
