A condensed, forward-leaning sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals that keep the shapes smooth rather than sharp. The overall construction is based on narrow, rounded-rectangular counters, giving letters like O, C, and G a superelliptical feel. Curves stay restrained and taut, while verticals dominate, producing a clean, high-rise rhythm with tight sidebearings. Figures follow the same streamlined build, with simple, elongated forms that align visually with the letters.
Well-suited to display work where vertical economy matters: headlines, subheads, posters, and cover lines. Its condensed proportions and smooth, rounded forms also fit contemporary branding and packaging, especially where a streamlined, high-impact look is desired.
The tone is sleek and fashion-forward, with a fast, aerodynamic slant that reads contemporary and metropolitan. Its narrow, tidy forms feel efficient and stylish, suggesting motion and precision rather than warmth or nostalgia.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, space-saving italic sans that stays clean and consistent while adding speed and attitude through a pronounced slant and superelliptical rounding. It prioritizes a tall, vertical rhythm and a controlled, even texture for striking display typography.
The lowercase shows looped and open constructions that help distinguish similar shapes in a condensed setting, while the italic angle and consistent stroke weight keep texture even in longer lines. In the samples, the font maintains a uniform gray value and a crisp, vertical cadence despite the pronounced slant.
