A tall, tightly set oblique sans with extremely condensed proportions and a monoline stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing narrow, capsule-like bowls and corners that stay crisp rather than soft. The slant is consistent across the set, with long vertical stems, compact apertures, and minimal modulation, giving the alphabet a continuous, high-rhythm texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed, high-impact texture can work at larger sizes—headlines, posters, cover lines, and brand marks. It can also function for short editorial blurbs or packaging callouts when you want a compact footprint with a pronounced sense of motion.
The overall tone feels sleek and speedy, with a stylized, forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and precision. Its narrow, elongated forms read as modern with a subtle retro-futurist edge, making it feel both engineered and expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum style and presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a consistent oblique angle with superelliptical construction for a streamlined, contemporary look. The emphasis is on a distinctive rhythm and compact set width rather than neutral, long-form readability.
In running text the condensed width creates strong vertical striping and a distinctive tempo, especially in sequences of straight stems. Numerals match the same tall, streamlined construction, and the lowercase maintains a relatively even x-height against extended ascenders and descenders, reinforcing the font’s elongated silhouette.
