A compact, oblique sans with heavy, even stroke weight and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with minimal modulation and crisp joins that keep the texture solid at display sizes. The overall rhythm is dense and forward-leaning, with consistent widths and sturdy, simplified letterforms that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Best suited to short, prominent text where a dense, slanted voice helps grab attention—headlines, posters, event graphics, and packaging callouts. It can also serve as a distinctive brand or campaign sans when used at larger sizes, where its compact geometry and strong silhouette remain clear.
The slanted stance and dense color create an energetic, driven tone that reads as modern and purposeful. Its compact shapes and blunt detailing feel practical and no-nonsense, with a slightly sporty, headline-ready urgency.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, space-efficient italic voice with a strong presence. The rounded-rectangle construction and uniform weight suggest an intention to balance geometric cleanliness with friendly corners, optimized for bold display typography and punchy messaging.
Round letters show a superelliptical feel—soft corners with flatter sides—while the diagonals and straight strokes stay disciplined and uniform. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compressed, forceful posture, producing a cohesive, high-impact word shape in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
