A compact, slanted sans with dense proportions and firmly weighted strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. The forms rely on smooth, low-modulation strokes with tight apertures and short joins, producing a solid, efficient texture in words. Numerals and capitals share the same condensed, forward-leaning stance for a consistent, high-impact rhythm.
Best suited to short, prominent text where a compact footprint and strong presence are desirable—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging panels, and sports or editorial callouts. It can also work for labels and UI accents when used sparingly, where its slant and density help create emphasis.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a contemporary, utilitarian flavor. Its slant and condensed build read as energetic and purposeful, leaning into a sporty, headline-driven voice rather than a relaxed or literary one.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving, high-energy sans voice that stays clean and geometric while retaining a softened, superelliptical roundness. The goal appears to be confident display impact with a cohesive, modern texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Spacing appears tuned for compact setting, with a tight internal rhythm that keeps lines visually cohesive. The superelliptical rounding shows up most clearly in round letters, where corners feel subtly squared-off, helping maintain clarity and a mechanical uniformity at display sizes.
