A tightly condensed oblique sans with compact proportions and a strong, even stroke. Curves resolve into squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and little detailing; the rhythm is driven by tall verticals, narrow apertures, and consistent spacing. Numerals and capitals share the same upright, compact skeleton, producing a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, packaging callouts, and condensed signage where space is at a premium. It can also work for subheads and UI labels when a punchy, compressed voice is desired, though long passages will read denser due to the narrow letterforms and tight counters.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and utilitarian—like lettering built for speed and limited space. Its squared rounds and forward slant evoke athletic graphics and industrial labeling, with a slightly retro, poster-like edge.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strong oblique stance with squared, rounded forms for a technical yet approachable look. It prioritizes bold silhouette clarity and consistent texture for display and branding applications.
The narrow set width and closed forms create strong color at display sizes, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh. The oblique angle is pronounced and consistent across the set, reinforcing a continuous forward motion in words and headlines.
