A tightly condensed oblique sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes read mostly uniform with subtle modulation, and the italic slant is pronounced, giving letters a forward-leaning rhythm. Curves tend to be squarish and superelliptical rather than purely circular, while joins and terminals stay smooth and slightly tapered. Counters are compact and enclosed spaces are narrow, producing a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display contexts where compact width and strong directional energy are assets—posters, headlines, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and punchy logotypes. It can work for short subheads or captions when set large enough and with comfortable spacing, but its dense counters make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a streamlined, kinetic presence that suggests motion and urgency. Its rounded squareness adds a retro-industrial flavor, balancing toughness with approachability. The condensed stance and strong slant push it toward attention-grabbing, headline energy rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact oblique sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry while projecting speed and confidence. Its consistent squarish curves and minimal detailing suggest a focus on clear silhouettes and strong rhythm in display typography.
Uppercase forms are tall and tightly fit, and the numerals echo the same condensed, rounded-rect silhouette for consistency. In text settings, the strong slant and narrow interior spaces create a compact word image that benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes for clarity. The ampersand and punctuation shown follow the same smooth, minimal detailing and forward-leaning stance.
