A condensed, oblique sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded corners that give straight stems and joins a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Curves are clean and controlled, with open, simplified bowls and counters that keep the texture even despite the narrow set width. The italic slant reads as engineered rather than calligraphic, with smooth joins, minimal modulation, and a consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to tight spaces where you need a contemporary, legible voice—such as UI labels, navigation, dashboards, and data-driven layouts. It also performs well for condensed headlines on posters or packaging, especially when a sleek, modern emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is modern and streamlined, suggesting speed and efficiency. Its narrow, forward-leaning posture feels utilitarian and contemporary, with a subtle softness from the rounded corners that keeps it from feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to provide an efficient, space-saving italic sans that stays clear at a glance while maintaining a softened, rounded geometry. The consistent monoline construction and controlled curves suggest an emphasis on clarity, uniformity, and modernity in compact typographic settings.
Uppercase forms maintain a tall, compact stance with restrained curvature; round letters like C/O/Q stay open and tidy, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) remain crisp and tightly drawn. Lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable, and the numerals follow the same condensed, oblique logic for a consistent, text-ready color.
