A sharply oblique, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction in the curves and counters. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle modulation, keeping a clean, even color while the strong slant creates forward motion. Letterforms are tall with compact widths, open apertures, and simplified terminals; curves read as softly squared rather than purely circular. Uppercase forms stay streamlined and geometric, while the lowercase maintains a normal x-height feel with narrow bowls and compact joins, producing a tight, efficient rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branded statements where a compact footprint and forward-leaning momentum are useful. It can work for short bursts of editorial text such as pull quotes or captions, especially when given a bit of extra tracking and generous leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is brisk and contemporary, with a sense of speed and urgency driven by the pronounced slant and compressed proportions. The rounded geometry softens the severity, giving it a sporty, editorial energy rather than a strictly technical feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving italic voice that feels modern and kinetic, combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangular geometry for a distinctive, contemporary silhouette.
In the samples, the narrow set and strong slant make word shapes distinctive at display sizes, while longer passages become visually dense if tracking is tight. Numerals follow the same condensed, oblique logic and align well with the letterforms for compact line setting.
