A condensed oblique sans with monoline strokes and smoothly rounded, superellipse-like curves. The letterforms are tall and compact, with tight internal counters and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly at display sizes. Round characters like O, C, and G are squared-off in feel rather than purely circular, while straight-sided letters keep crisp, gently eased corners. Numerals follow the same narrow, streamlined construction, giving the set a cohesive, engineered look.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a compact footprint and a sense of speed. It can also work for short UI labels, navigation, and condensed titling where space is tight and a clean, modern voice is desired. In longer passages it reads best at larger sizes where the narrow counters and oblique angle have room to breathe.
The overall tone is brisk and contemporary, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and momentum. Its restrained geometry and consistent stroke weight lend a practical, technical character rather than a casual or decorative one.
Designed to deliver a sleek, space-saving sans with built-in motion, pairing condensed proportions with rounded superellipse forms for a contemporary, engineered feel. The goal appears to be clarity and visual punch in tight layouts while keeping the tone controlled and modern.
The italic slant is integral to the design rather than a simple shear, maintaining stable proportions and consistent curve tension across the alphabet. The compact width and rounded-rectangle geometry give it a distinctive, utilitarian personality that stays disciplined even in longer sample text.
