I didn't expect to find this. It's a compact bar, made by a company called Soma, available with a 26.0 mm clamp. https://www.jensonusa.com/Soma-Hwy-One-Handlebars
Obviously, this image shows the 31.8 mm version, and it's only available in 44cm, but . . . I'm impressed.

These are both really nice bends. The bit of a "belly" beneath the hoods lets the hands get closer to the levers.
