A condensed slanted sans with tall proportions and a taut, vertical rhythm. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with smooth rounding on curves and corners that gives counters a soft, superelliptical feel. Letterforms are narrow and economical, with compact apertures and simplified terminals; joins and intersections remain crisp and uncluttered. The figures follow the same narrow stance, with oval-like rounds and straightforward construction that keeps texture even in longer lines.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial callouts where space is tight and a fast, modern voice is desired. The narrow build makes it useful for branding and packaging systems that need strong impact in limited width, and it can also fit sport- and tech-adjacent graphics where a clean, dynamic slant supports the message.
The overall tone is brisk and contemporary, combining efficiency with a slight sense of motion from the consistent slant. Its compactness and clean curves read as modern and functional, with an energetic, performance-oriented edge rather than a decorative or nostalgic feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans optimized for impact and economy of space, while using rounded geometry to keep the texture smooth and approachable. The consistent italic angle suggests a goal of adding momentum and emphasis without increasing stroke weight or relying on ornament.
Uppercase forms appear especially streamlined, producing a strong vertical emphasis in headings. In text, the consistent slant and tight letter widths create a dense, uniform color that favors punchy setting over relaxed readability at very small sizes.
