A condensed oblique sans with a tall, compact footprint and consistently low stroke modulation. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than circular forms. Terminals are clean and largely unflared, with a brisk, utilitarian rhythm that stays even across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike construction with minimal calligraphic influence, while numerals follow the same narrow, uniform structure for tight setting.
Well-suited to space-conscious headlines and subheads where a compact, fast-moving italic voice is useful. It also fits posters, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from narrow widths and a clean, contemporary look, especially when set in short to medium lines.
The overall tone is modern and pragmatic, leaning more toward functional clarity than expressive personality. Its oblique stance adds momentum and a slightly urgent, forward-leaning feel, while the rounded-square curves keep the voice approachable rather than sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended as a compact oblique sans for modern layout work, prioritizing economy of space and consistent, engineered forms. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests a goal of pairing a technical backbone with a slightly softened, contemporary finish.
The condensed proportions and tight internal spacing emphasize verticality, making the design feel compact and space-saving. Round letters read as softly squared, and the slant is consistent enough to support continuous text without appearing cursive.
