A condensed italic sans with monolinear strokes and softened, superellipse-like curves. The proportions are tall and compact, with tight apertures and a narrow overall set that creates a brisk vertical rhythm. Round letters lean toward rounded-rectangle construction, while joins stay clean and minimally shaped, keeping forms crisp despite the slant. Numerals follow the same narrow, streamlined logic, with simple, open counters and a consistent stroke weight.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand lockups where a condensed, energetic voice helps conserve space. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and dashboards when you want a sleek, technical tone, ideally with comfortable sizing and spacing to maintain clarity.
The tone is contemporary and efficient, suggesting speed and precision rather than warmth. Its narrow, forward-leaning silhouette reads as athletic and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-tech flavor coming from the rounded, capsule-like curves.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving italic sans that still feels modern and orderly, combining a narrow footprint with rounded superelliptic geometry for a distinctive, contemporary texture.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to influence word shape strongly, producing a dynamic texture in lines of text. The compact widths and tightened internal space make it feel best suited to larger sizes or short bursts of copy where the condensed emphasis is desirable.
