A condensed, forward-leaning sans with a monoline feel and rounded-rectangle geometry in its curves. Strokes are clean and consistent, with soft corners on bowls and a generally upright internal structure despite the italic slant. Counters are narrow but open, and the rhythm is tall and airy with long ascenders and descenders. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, streamlined construction, giving the set a cohesive, vertically driven texture.
Best used where a tall, condensed voice is an advantage: headlines, subheads, brand marks, and packaging systems that need to conserve horizontal space. It also works well for editorial display typography—magazine-style titles, pull quotes, and promotional graphics—where the italic slant can add energy and direction.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with a refined, fashion-forward polish. Its narrow, slanted stance suggests speed and confidence, while the rounded forms keep it approachable rather than harsh. The result feels editorial and modern—suited to designs that want sophistication without heaviness.
This design appears intended as a contemporary condensed display sans that combines speed and elegance. The italic slant and narrow build aim to create a dynamic, space-efficient texture, while rounded-rectangle curves soften the tone for modern branding and editorial use.
Round letters like O/Q and the bowls in b/d/p show softened, superellipse-like shaping, while straight stems remain crisp and uncluttered. The lowercase includes a double-storey g and generally simple, legible forms, helping it stay readable even with tight proportions. Spacing appears measured for a compact line, producing a distinctive vertical grain in paragraphs and headlines.
