A highly condensed, oblique sans with monoline strokes and an overall tall, upright silhouette despite the slant. Curves are drawn with rounded-rectangle softness, giving bowls and counters a smooth, slightly squarish “superellipse” feel rather than geometric circles. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with minimal modulation and tight interior spacing that keeps forms compact and streamlined. The lowercase shows a high x-height and narrow apertures, while figures follow the same slender, vertical rhythm for a consistent texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short display lines where a compact footprint and energetic slant add impact. It can work well for branding and packaging that needs a tall, modern voice, and for editorial applications like magazine covers or section openers where condensed typography helps fit long titles.
The tone is fast, sleek, and contemporary, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and urgency. Its compressed proportions and smooth, controlled curves lend a confident, engineered feel suited to modern branding and editorial display.
Likely designed to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans for display settings, pairing condensed proportions with smooth superelliptical geometry to stay modern and controlled while still feeling dynamic in motion.
The condensed set width creates strong vertical emphasis and a dense typographic color, which can feel striking in larger sizes. In smaller sizes or long passages, the tight apertures and narrow counters may require generous tracking and leading to preserve clarity.
