A condensed oblique sans with softly squared, superelliptical curves and open interior spaces. Strokes read largely even, with subtle modulation at joins, and terminals are cleanly cut rather than flared. Counters lean toward rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in O/0 and e), while diagonals and verticals keep a crisp, engineered rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, producing a dense, upright texture despite the slant. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded geometry, with clear, simplified forms and consistent stroke endings.
Works well for UI labels, navigation, and compact typography where space is limited and a clean, modern tone is desired. The oblique, condensed build also suits headlines, sports or tech branding, and packaging callouts that benefit from a sense of speed and precision. It can serve effectively in short-to-medium text when a tight, streamlined texture is acceptable.
The overall tone is contemporary and energetic, with a slightly industrial, performance-oriented feel. Its oblique stance and condensed proportions suggest motion and efficiency, while the rounded-rectangle curves keep it approachable rather than aggressive. The result feels suited to modern interfaces and branding that want a sleek, technical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, contemporary sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton and an italicized, forward-leaning posture. Its consistent geometry and clean terminals prioritize clarity and a modern, engineered aesthetic while maintaining friendly softness through rounded corners.
Letterforms emphasize uniform widths and tight sidebearings, creating strong line continuity in text. Rounded corners and squared-off curves give the face a distinctive “soft tech” signature, especially visible in bowls and counters. The italic angle is steady across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting consistent rhythm in longer settings.
