A condensed, forward-slanted sans with a squared-off, superellipse construction: curves resolve into rounded rectangles and tight radii rather than fully circular bowls. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a crisp, graphic silhouette with minimal modulation. Apertures are narrow and counters are compact, giving the letters a dense, vertical rhythm. Terminals tend to be flat and clipped, and the overall fit feels tight and purposeful, with especially assertive diagonals in forms like K, N, V, W, and Y.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, product packaging, and compact UI labels where space is limited. It performs well when set large or in high-contrast layouts that can support its tight interiors and energetic slant.
The design reads fast, driven, and mechanical—like motion, pressure, and speed. Its compact width and aggressive slant create a sense of urgency and performance, while the squared-round geometry adds a contemporary, engineered tone.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a speed-oriented italic stance with a squared-round, engineered geometry. Its consistent stroke weight and compact forms suggest an emphasis on clarity at display sizes and a strong, contemporary branding voice.
In the sample text, the strong slant and condensed proportions emphasize word shapes and momentum, but the tight apertures and compact counters can make longer passages feel intense. The numerals share the same condensed, squared-round language, keeping a consistent, utilitarian feel across alphanumerics.
