A tall, condensed sans with an oblique slant and largely monoline strokes. Curves are based on rounded, superelliptical forms, giving bowls and counters a softly squared, controlled geometry. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with smooth joins and minimal stroke modulation; the overall rhythm is tight and vertical. Uppercase forms stay narrow and upright in structure, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, contemporary construction with compact apertures and disciplined spacing.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial copy where a compact footprint and strong vertical emphasis are desirable. It works well for magazine typography, contemporary branding, packaging, and poster systems that benefit from a sleek, condensed voice. The oblique style can also add emphasis in logotypes and campaign titling without requiring heavy weight.
The tone is modern and editorial, with a refined, fashion-forward sensibility. Its narrow, slanted stance reads energetic without becoming casual, projecting a sleek, metropolitan character. The rounded-rectangle curvature adds a subtle softness that keeps the style approachable while still feeling crisp and designed.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans for display-led typography, combining condensed proportions with an oblique stance for momentum. Superelliptical curvature and restrained detailing suggest an aim for a clean, controlled texture that feels modern and premium.
The condensed proportions create strong word shapes and a compact texture in lines of text, especially in all-caps settings. Rounded corners and superelliptical bowls help prevent the design from feeling harsh despite its tight width, and the oblique angle adds forward motion that suits display sizes.
