A condensed, forward-leaning sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly controlled counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and shoulders a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with minimal modulation and a compact, upright rhythm that becomes dynamic through the consistent oblique slant. Numerals and capitals are tall and narrow, with simplified interior spaces that stay open enough for display use while maintaining a dense, high-impact color on the page.
Best suited to large sizes where its condensed width and bold presence can carry headlines, posters, sports identities, apparel graphics, and punchy packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or category tags when space is tight, though longer text will feel intense due to the dense stroke and narrow fit.
The overall tone is sporty and urgent, with a fast, mechanical cadence reminiscent of racing graphics, team branding, and high-impact headlines. Its squared curves and steep stance add a utilitarian toughness, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed and strength. The superelliptical construction and blunt finishing suggest a goal of creating a modern, engineered display voice with strong consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Round letters like O/C/S and the bowls in P/R/B show the same rounded-corner rectangle construction, creating a cohesive, engineered texture. The punctuation and dots appear compact and sturdy, matching the dense weight and narrow set.
