A condensed, right-leaning italic with tall proportions and tight apertures. Strokes show clear contrast for a sans, with verticals reading darker and joins tapering into pointed terminals. Curves are drawn with squared-off, superelliptical rounding, giving bowls and counters a slightly rectangular feel rather than circular. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with narrow letterforms, firm stems, and brisk diagonals that keep lines of text energetic and tightly packed.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and compact display settings where space is limited but impact is needed. It also works well for branding and packaging systems that want a condensed italic voice with a firm, graphic presence.
The overall tone is brisk and editorial, combining a modern condensed snap with a faintly vintage, poster-like flavor. Its angled stance and sharp terminals add urgency and motion, while the structured rounding keeps it controlled rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving italic display sans with heightened vertical tension and a distinctive squared-round construction. It prioritizes punchy texture and fast rhythm in short to medium text runs, especially for editorial and promotional typography.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and architectural, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, high x-height that supports small-size readability despite the compression. Numerals follow the same condensed, slightly tapered logic and feel designed to sit tightly in headlines and callouts.
