A condensed oblique sans with compact proportions and consistently heavy strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle, superellipse-like forms, giving counters and bowls a smooth, squared-off roundness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and largely flat, with minimal modulation and crisp joins; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read sharp and energetic while still softened by the overall rounded geometry. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and tight, efficient spacing that keeps word shapes dense and forward-leaning.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, sports or activewear branding, packaging callouts, and punchy signage. The condensed width and strong slant help it pack more characters into a line while maintaining a high-energy texture.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a “leaning into motion” feel. Its rounded yet compact shapes balance friendliness with punch, making it feel sporty and high-impact rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, impactful voice with a strong sense of forward motion, using rounded-rectangle curves to keep the bold, condensed forms approachable and consistent.
The numeral set matches the condensed, slanted rhythm and stays very legible at display sizes, with open counters and sturdy stems. The superellipse construction is especially noticeable in O/Q and rounded lowercase forms, which look like softened rectangles rather than geometric circles.
