A highly condensed oblique sans with a consistent, even stroke and softly squared (superelliptical) rounding on curves and corners. Proportions are tall and vertical, with narrow bowls and tight interior counters that create a brisk, high-rhythm texture. Terminals tend to be clean and straight rather than flared, while key joins and curves show gentle rounding that keeps the design from feeling sharp. The numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow, forward-leaning stance, producing a cohesive, tightly packed silhouette in lines of text.
Best suited to space-constrained settings where height and impact matter: headlines, posters, and branding systems that need a compact, high-energy voice. It also fits packaging and performance-oriented or tech-adjacent design where a streamlined, contemporary tone is desired.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with a fast, aerodynamic feel. Its narrow, slanted stance suggests motion and efficiency, reading as technical and modern rather than friendly or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern oblique sans for display use, prioritizing vertical economy and a continuous sense of motion while keeping forms clean, monoline, and subtly rounded for visual cohesion.
The condensed construction produces strong vertical emphasis and compact word shapes, with notably tight counters in rounded letters that can look dense at smaller sizes. The oblique angle is pronounced and consistent across the set, giving headlines and short phrases a continuous forward pull.
