A condensed, forward-leaning sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly squared-off, superellipse construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle corners, giving letters like O, C, D, and G a taut, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. The proportions are tall and compact, with tight counters and short extenders, and the overall rhythm is brisk due to the consistent slant and narrow set. Terminals are clean and mostly cut straight, while joins stay crisp, keeping the texture even in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where a sleek, accelerated voice is desired. It can work in UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding when space is limited and a compact, modern texture is beneficial, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is fast and contemporary, evoking technical labeling, performance branding, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its oblique stance and condensed build add urgency and motion, while the rounded-square geometry keeps it controlled and precise rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to merge a space-efficient condensed fit with a smooth, industrial geometry, creating an italicized sans that reads as agile and technical. Its consistent monoline build and rounded-square curves suggest a focus on contemporary display and interface use where clarity and speed are part of the aesthetic.
Figures follow the same condensed, rounded-square logic as the letters, with simple, legible forms suited to compact settings. The uppercase has a display-like presence, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open shapes and consistent stroke behavior, producing a uniform, high-energy line in paragraphs.
