A condensed slanted sans with a crisp, high-tension skeleton and subtly rounded geometry. Strokes stay clean and mostly uniform with gentle modulation, producing smooth curves and sharp, tapered joins in diagonals. Counters are compact and elliptical, and the overall rhythm is tight, with narrow letterforms and steady spacing that keeps words aligned and streamlined. Numerals follow the same compact proportions, with open, readable shapes and consistent slant across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a narrow, slanted voice can add momentum and distinction. It works well in branding systems, packaging, posters, and interface accents where space is limited and a clean, modern tone is desired.
The tone is cool and contemporary, suggesting speed, precision, and a refined minimalism. Its slant adds motion and emphasis without feeling decorative, giving it an efficient, editorial energy that reads as modern and slightly futuristic.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving, contemporary italic sans for display and editorial settings—combining compact proportions with smooth, rounded construction to keep the texture even and the tone refined.
Uppercase forms appear simplified and geometric, while lowercase shapes balance that geometry with familiar constructions for continuous reading. The italic angle is pronounced but controlled, creating a cohesive forward lean across letters and figures.
