A sharply slanted, condensed sans with a linear, low-modulation stroke and open, clean counters. The proportions are tall and compressed, with generous ascenders/descenders and a consistent rightward lean that creates a fast, forward rhythm. Curves are smooth and economical, terminals read as simple cuts rather than decorative finishes, and overall spacing feels tight but controlled for a narrow text color.
Best suited to short-to-medium headline settings where a compact footprint and strong directional slant help create emphasis. It works well for editorial titling, posters, and brand applications that want a streamlined, modern voice, and it can also handle concise UI or data labels where space is limited and the styling is intentional.
The tone is brisk and contemporary, with a purposeful, aerodynamic feel. Its narrow, italic posture suggests motion and efficiency, giving it a cool, editorial energy that can also read as technical or sporty depending on context.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-efficient sans that still feels dynamic and contemporary. By combining compressed proportions with a steady italic angle and restrained detailing, it prioritizes speed, clarity, and a distinctive narrow texture for display-forward typography.
The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey shapes (notably in a and g) that reinforce the minimal, utilitarian construction. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted logic, supporting consistent texture when mixing letters and figures.
