A condensed oblique sans with heavy, even stroke weight and compact proportions. Curves are built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters a superelliptical feel, while joins stay clean and geometric. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional soft rounding, and the overall rhythm is tight with efficient spacing. Uppercase shapes read sturdy and vertical, while lowercase maintains a large x-height with simplified forms and minimal contrast.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where a compact, forceful voice is useful. The condensed build also fits space-constrained applications like wayfinding, labels, and UI banners when a strong, modern emphasis is desired.
The font projects speed and drive, with a forward-leaning stance and dense, high-impact texture. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a contemporary, engineered tone—confident and utilitarian rather than delicate or expressive.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal width, combining a forward-leaning stance with sturdy, geometric construction. The rounded-rectangle curves and uniform strokes aim for a modern, engineered look that stays legible and consistent under bold display use.
The “0” includes a diagonal slash, and numerals follow the same compact, oblique construction as the letters. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q keep a squared-off roundness, reinforcing a consistent, technical silhouette across the set.
