A tall, condensed sans with a consistent rightward slant and monoline stroke weight. Curves are softened into rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a smooth, slightly squared roundness rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with occasional gentle hooks (notably in forms like J and some lowercase descenders), and the overall rhythm is vertical and tightly packed. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright-to-slanted construction, with open, airy counters that keep the lightweight structure from feeling brittle.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display typography where condensed width and italic energy add emphasis without heavy weight. It can work well for magazine/editorial treatments, posters, brand wordmarks, and packaging where a sleek, space-saving voice is useful. For longer text, it’s likely most effective at larger sizes where the narrow forms have more breathing room.
The overall tone is contemporary and streamlined, with a sense of motion from the continuous slant and compressed proportions. It reads as confident and design-forward, balancing a technical, engineered neatness with a subtly human, rounded warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern condensed italic voice that feels fast and refined, combining clean sans construction with superelliptical rounding to stay smooth and contemporary. It prioritizes a strong vertical presence and efficient width while maintaining clarity through open counters and simple, consistent stroke behavior.
The slant is strong enough to feel intentionally italic rather than merely oblique, and the condensed set width creates a distinctive, high-density texture in lines of text. Rounded interior corners and superelliptical curves keep the texture smooth and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
