A tightly condensed oblique sans with smooth, rounded-rectangle curves and straight-sided counters that keep the silhouettes compact. Strokes remain even and consistent, with little modulation, and terminals are cleanly cut rather than tapered. The italics are built with a steady forward slant and compact spacing, giving capitals a tall, streamlined stance and lowercase a simple, single-storey construction where visible (notably the compact, looped forms and short extenders). Numerals follow the same narrow, upright-leaning rhythm, with rounded shapes that stay controlled and legible at small widths.
Best suited to space-conscious display settings like headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a narrow footprint and energetic slant help maximize content per line. It can also work for labels, UI callouts, and wayfinding-style applications when a compact, modern sans voice is needed.
The overall tone is fast and purposeful—sleek, modern, and slightly technical. Its compressed, forward-leaning rhythm suggests motion and efficiency, making it feel well suited to contemporary, utilitarian design rather than decorative expression.
Likely designed to provide a highly economical, condensed italic sans for modern layouts, balancing speed and density with clean, rounded geometry for clarity.
Round letters retain a subtly squared geometry, so bowls and counters read as soft-cornered rectangles rather than perfect circles. The condensed fit and consistent slant create a strong vertical texture in paragraphs, while the simplified shapes keep the voice neutral and workmanlike.
