A tall, tightly set sans with a consistent monoline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with occasional gentle hooks and curved joins that keep the texture smooth at small sizes. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with narrow sidebearings and streamlined shapes that maintain clarity through open apertures and restrained detailing.
Best suited to space-conscious settings where a strong vertical texture helps copy fit more content per line, such as headlines, subheads, posters, and product branding. The clean, monoline construction also works well for UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style messaging where a brisk, modern voice is desired.
The overall tone is cool and utilitarian, with a sleek, contemporary feel. Its condensed, slanted posture adds urgency and motion without becoming expressive or decorative, lending a subtle industrial and editorial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans for tight columns and attention-grabbing lines, combining an italic-driven sense of speed with rounded-rectangle curves that keep the look approachable and controlled.
Uppercase forms stay simple and upright in construction while leaning consistently, and the lowercase is similarly restrained with compact bowls and tall ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same narrow, linear logic, reading clean and uniform alongside text. The font’s rounded-rectangle curves create a distinctive ‘soft technical’ signature—precise, but not harsh.
