A highly condensed, steeply slanted sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangular (superelliptic) shaping. Curves are narrow and vertically stretched, with small apertures and smooth, controlled terminals that stay largely straight rather than calligraphic. The rhythm is tight and upright in construction despite the strong oblique angle, giving the forms a crisp, engineered feel; rounded letters like O/Q stay slim and evenly tensioned, and straights dominate the overall texture.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where a compact footprint and high style are desirable—headlines, cover lines, posters, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or navigational labels when generous tracking and line spacing are available.
The font reads as fast, streamlined, and contemporary—more fashion/editorial than utilitarian. Its narrow silhouettes and pronounced slant add urgency and motion while keeping a restrained, minimalist tone.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-efficient, high-impact sans voice with a pronounced forward-leaning gesture. By combining condensed proportions with softened superelliptic curves and low stroke modulation, it targets a modern, editorial look that stays clean and controlled rather than decorative.
In the samples, the dense fit and strong inclination create a prominent diagonal flow across words, producing a distinctive headline texture. The numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, vertically emphasized construction, reinforcing a cohesive, tightly packed voice.
