A condensed oblique sans with smooth, rounded geometry and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. Curves read as soft superellipse-like arcs, while terminals are clean and unadorned. The narrow set is balanced by generous internal counters and open apertures, keeping letters clear despite the compressed proportions. Overall rhythm is brisk and upright-to-right-leaning, with crisp diagonals in V/W/X/Y and streamlined bowls in B/D/O/Q that maintain an even, uniform texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks where a narrow footprint is useful and a modern, kinetic voice is desired. It can also work well in branding systems, packaging, and editorial callouts that benefit from a clean, slanted sans with rounded character.
The tone is contemporary and purposeful, combining a streamlined, engineered feel with a subtle warmth from the rounded forms. Its slanted stance adds motion and urgency, suggesting speed, performance, and forward momentum without becoming expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans with a dynamic slant and softened geometry, offering a modern alternative to sharper condensed italics. The emphasis is on clarity and pace: tight proportions, simple stroke behavior, and rounded construction that stays neutral and highly usable.
Numerals follow the same condensed, oblique construction and appear designed for consistent alignment in running text. The sample text shows stable word shapes and smooth spacing at display and subhead sizes, with a noticeably uniform gray value across lines.
