A condensed italic sans with elongated proportions and a steady, even stroke. Curves are built from smooth, rounded-rectangle geometry, producing softened counters and controlled, streamlined terminals. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with long ascenders/descenders and compact bowls that keep words narrow while remaining clear at display sizes. Overall spacing appears economical and consistent, emphasizing a tall, upright texture even with the slant.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a tall, condensed voice helps fit more characters per line—magazine covers, poster typography, product marks, and brand lockups. It can also work for subheads and pull quotes when you want a crisp, editorial slant and a narrow footprint.
The font feels fast and contemporary—confident, efficient, and slightly dramatic. Its narrow stance and forward lean suggest motion and urgency, while the softened superelliptical curves keep the tone polished rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, contemporary italic for display work, combining a disciplined condensed structure with rounded superelliptical forms for a refined, modern finish.
Uppercase forms read as simplified and monolinear, with rounded interior shaping on letters like C, D, O, and Q. Lowercase shows a compact, high-waisted construction with clear differentiation between similar shapes, and numerals follow the same tall, condensed cadence for a cohesive typographic color.
