A condensed, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes stay mostly monolinear with subtle modulation, and terminals are clean and lightly rounded rather than sharply cut. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, creating a tall, streamlined rhythm, while curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q read as superelliptical arcs. The overall texture is airy and precise, with compact spacing and a consistent, engineered geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where a tall, streamlined voice is useful: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and product or interface labeling. The compact width helps fit more characters into tight horizontal spaces while maintaining a clean, contemporary look.
The tone feels fast and modern with a faint retro-futurist edge—like labeling on instruments, transport, or tech products. Its narrow, slanted stance suggests motion and efficiency, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears aimed at a space-efficient italic sans that feels engineered and contemporary, using superelliptical curves and rounded corners to balance precision with softness. It prioritizes a consistent geometric system and a sense of speed for impactful, modern typography.
Distinctive forms include a sharply angled, zigzag-like W and a looped, cursive-inflected x that add character without breaking the system. Figures are similarly condensed and utilitarian, matching the letterforms’ rounded-rectilinear logic for cohesive alphanumeric styling.
