A condensed oblique sans with a monoline feel and smooth, elliptical curves. The proportions are tall and narrow, with compact counters and generous vertical emphasis that keeps word shapes tight and fast. Terminals are mostly clean and slightly sharpened, and the joins stay crisp, giving the letterforms a tidy, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms are streamlined and upright in structure despite the slant, with simple bowls and open apertures that help maintain clarity at smaller sizes.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited and a sense of motion is desirable. It can work effectively in posters, covers, and branding systems that need a compact, high-impact voice, and it also fits energetic applications such as sports or event graphics.
The overall tone is brisk and contemporary, suggesting speed, efficiency, and a slightly sporty edge. Its narrow, forward-leaning stance reads confident and energetic, while the restrained stroke modulation keeps it professional rather than flashy.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving italicized voice that stays clean and readable while feeling fast and contemporary. The emphasis on condensed proportions and consistent stroke weight suggests a practical display tool for modern layouts and identity work.
Round characters (like C, O, and e) read as compressed ovals, and diagonals in letters such as A, V, W, X, and Y reinforce the forward motion. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted logic, matching the alphabet’s tight spacing and vertical cadence.
