A highly condensed, right-leaning sans with a monoline skeleton and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) counters. Strokes stay even and clean, with tight apertures and a tall lowercase proportion that keeps the texture continuous in text. Curves are smooth and verticals feel taut, producing a narrow, high-tension rhythm; diagonals and joins are crisp, and terminals are largely plain and unadorned. Figures follow the same compressed, elongated construction, reading like streamlined signage numerals rather than heavy display forms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a tall, condensed voice helps fit long phrases into narrow spaces. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or packaging/front-of-pack titling when set with a bit of extra spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is fast, sleek, and contemporary, with a fashion/editorial edge. Its narrow, slanted stance suggests motion and urgency, while the rounded internal shapes keep it polished rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans voice with an italicized forward lean and clean, geometric rounding, prioritizing a striking vertical rhythm and space-efficient width for display typography.
Because of the extreme horizontal compression, letterforms can crowd at smaller sizes; it reads best when given generous tracking and line height. The consistent stroke weight and uniform geometry create a strong vertical cadence that stands out in headlines and tightly set columns.
