A tall, condensed sans with a pronounced forward slant and monolinear strokes. The letterforms are built from straight segments with softened, squarish curves, producing rounded-rectangle counters and a crisp, engineered rhythm. Terminals are mostly clean and cut, with tight apertures and narrow sidebearings that create a compact, vertical texture. Capitals and figures share a consistent, streamlined geometry that reads cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its condensed proportions and sharp rhythm can create impact—headlines, posters, product branding, and packaging. It can also work for tech-forward UI accents, labels, and wayfinding-style applications where a compact, energetic look is desired.
The overall tone feels fast, modern, and machine-made, with a dynamic, aerodynamic lean. Its narrow stance and crisp construction suggest motion, precision, and a slightly retro-tech sensibility reminiscent of signage and instrument labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-velocity sans voice by combining condensed proportions with an assertive oblique angle and rounded-rectangular construction. The goal seems to be a contemporary, technical aesthetic that stays clean and consistent across letters and numerals while emphasizing motion and efficiency.
The forward slant is strong enough to function as a stylistic voice rather than a secondary emphasis. Round letters (such as O/C) retain a squared-off, superelliptic feel, which keeps the set cohesive and reinforces a technical character.
