A tightly condensed oblique sans with monoline strokes and smoothly rounded joins. Curves are built from simple oval forms, while diagonals and terminals end in crisp, slightly tapered cuts that keep the rhythm sharp. Proportions are tall and narrow with compact counters, and the overall spacing feels controlled and even, producing a fast, forward-leaning texture in lines of text. Figures follow the same narrow, upright-ish structure with clear, open shapes suited to compact settings.
Best suited to display roles where space is tight and a sense of speed is desirable—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or UI labels where a condensed italic voice helps differentiate hierarchy, though it will feel more stylized than neutral in longer passages.
The slanted, streamlined forms convey motion and urgency, giving the face a contemporary, performance-oriented tone. At the same time, the smooth curves and restrained detailing keep it polished enough for editorial and brand-led work rather than purely utilitarian signage.
Likely designed to provide a compact, contemporary oblique sans for attention-grabbing typography, balancing geometric roundness with sharp terminals to maintain clarity and momentum at display sizes.
Uppercase forms read especially assertive due to the compressed width and consistent stroke, while lowercase adds a touch of friendliness through rounded bowls and a compact, neat footprint. The overall color stays fairly even across mixed-case text, with the oblique angle doing most of the expressive work.
