A slanted, compressed sans with brisk curves and clean, tapering stroke endings. Forms are built from smooth elliptical bowls and open apertures, while stems lean consistently to create a forward rhythm. Stroke modulation is present but controlled, giving curves a slightly calligraphic tension without becoming decorative. Uppercase proportions feel tall and streamlined; lowercase has a relatively low x-height with compact, efficient shapes and straightforward joins.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and display copy where a compact footprint and energetic slant add emphasis. It can work well for branding, packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a sleek, forward-leaning voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a distinctly editorial slant that suggests motion and urgency. Its compressed stance and crisp terminals read as confident and attention-seeking, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient italic voice that feels modern and fast, combining rounded construction with crisp, sharpened endings for impact. It aims to provide a cohesive, headline-ready texture with consistent forward motion across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The sample text shows strong word-shape continuity at larger sizes, with a pronounced italic flow and a compact texture. Several letters emphasize open bowls and clear interior space, helping maintain clarity despite the narrow set and slanted posture. Numerals appear similarly slanted and compact, matching the type’s tight, energetic color.
