A tall, condensed italic sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, superelliptical curves. The letterforms are built from narrow verticals and rounded-rectangle bowls, producing smooth counters and consistent rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals are clean and minimal, with gently rounded corners rather than sharp joins; diagonals are restrained and the overall texture stays even in running text. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright-leaning logic, keeping a streamlined silhouette and uniform stroke behavior.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand wordmarks where a narrow footprint and stylish slant help fit more characters per line. It can also work for packaging, UI labels, and navigational text when sizes are sufficient and spacing is adjusted for clarity.
The tone is sleek and contemporary, with a light, aerodynamic feel that reads as efficient and refined. Its condensed slant adds forward motion and a slightly editorial sophistication, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly and polished rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern condensed italic with a geometric, rounded-rectangle backbone—balancing a technical, efficient footprint with smooth, approachable curvature for contemporary display typography.
Because the forms are tightly set and uniformly thin, the design emphasizes vertical flow and spacing discipline; it looks best when given a bit of breathing room in tracking and leading. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially apparent in curved letters and counters, giving the type a distinctive, engineered softness.
