A tall, tightly set sans with a consistent monoline stroke and an italic slant. The letterforms are strongly condensed, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that keep bowls and counters smooth and compact. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while joins stay crisp, giving the design a controlled, streamlined rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright-to-slanted stance with simple, legible constructions that match the overall compact texture.
Best suited to display sizes where its narrow width can maximize words-per-line and create tall, striking headline blocks. It works well for posters, magazine titles, packaging callouts, and brand systems that want a condensed, forward-leaning voice with smooth, rounded forms. In longer passages it will read more like a stylistic accent than a default text face due to its tight, compressed texture.
The overall tone feels brisk and contemporary, with a sense of motion created by the steady slant and condensed silhouette. Its narrow, vertical emphasis reads as efficient and slightly assertive, suited to modern editorial and brand-forward contexts rather than neutral body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact italic sans that stays clean and highly consistent while adding personality through rounded, superellipse-inspired curves. It prioritizes a strong vertical rhythm and a fast, modern feel for attention-driven typography.
Across the alphabet the proportions remain consistent and disciplined, producing an even gray value and strong vertical cadence. The rounded geometry softens the condensed structure, preventing the texture from feeling overly sharp while still keeping a clean, technical finish.
