Brevitas

Brevitas is a rhetorical style Rhetorica ad Herennium calls "the expressing of an idea by the very minimum of essential words".[1][2]

By implying more than is said, it is distinguished from tautology and understatement.

Brevitas is related to concision, parataxis, sprezzatura and elliptic style.[3][4] It contrasts with periphrasis, aureation and pleonasm.
