A condensed, right-slanted sans with a monoline feel and smooth, simplified construction. Curves are drawn as clean ellipses with minimal modulation, while joins and terminals stay crisp and restrained, keeping counters open and shapes uncluttered. The capitals are tall and narrow with a consistent forward rhythm, and the lowercase maintains compact proportions with clear, utilitarian forms and straightforward bowls and stems. Figures follow the same narrow, streamlined geometry for a cohesive text-and-display color.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and short-form copy where a narrow footprint and forward motion are desirable, such as branding systems, posters, and packaging. It can also serve in editorial sidebars or pull quotes where a sleek, condensed voice is needed without heavy visual noise.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, suggesting speed, efficiency, and precision rather than warmth or ornament. Its lean profile and steady slant give it a dynamic, streamlined voice suited to modern interfaces and technical contexts.
Likely designed to deliver a space-efficient, modern sans voice with a consistent slanted rhythm and clean, geometric drawing. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, economy of width, and a streamlined contemporary look for display-led typography.
The sample text shows an even texture across long lines, with a pronounced diagonal flow that helps headings and short phrases feel energetic. Round letters stay taut and verticals remain disciplined, producing a tidy, controlled impression at larger sizes.
