A condensed oblique sans with monoline strokes and gently rounded curves. Letterforms are clean and simplified, with open apertures and a steady rhythm that keeps counters clear despite the tight width. Terminals are mostly straight and unembellished, and curves are smooth rather than calligraphic, giving the face a crisp, functional silhouette. Numerals follow the same streamlined logic, with compact proportions and minimal ornamentation for consistent color in text.
Works well where horizontal space is limited, such as UI labels, navigation, dashboards, tables, and compact editorial layouts. The oblique construction also suits short emphasis lines—subheads, pull quotes, and small headlines—where a sense of motion is helpful without resorting to a bold weight.
The overall tone is contemporary and practical, leaning toward a streamlined, forward-moving feel due to the oblique slant. It reads as neutral and efficient rather than expressive, suggesting clarity, speed, and a lightly technical attitude.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving, contemporary sans optimized for clear, economical typography, pairing a condensed build with a restrained oblique slant to add emphasis while keeping the overall voice neutral.
The condensed proportions create a compact texture that can feel dense in long passages, while the open bowls and simple shapes help maintain legibility. The oblique angle adds emphasis without introducing decorative features, making it suitable for understated highlight text and space-conscious settings.
