A compact, tightly spaced oblique sans with heavy, low-modulation strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. Counters are narrow and vertical, with overall proportions pushed tall and compressed, creating a strong, continuous vertical rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, while joins stay smooth and sturdy, giving letters a dense, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted construction with simple, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display roles such as posters, headlines, sports graphics, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a compact footprint and energetic slant are beneficial, while extended small-size text may feel dense due to the tight internal space.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and utilitarian—like display lettering designed to signal speed and intensity. The condensed slant adds motion, while the rounded squareness keeps it contemporary and controlled rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectilinear forms for a modern, high-energy voice.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping long lines feel unified. The narrow counters and compact width make the texture dark and highly assertive, with shapes that prioritize bold presence over airy openness.
