A condensed, forward-leaning sans with a squared-off, superellipse construction: curves resolve into rounded rectangles and corners stay softly radiused rather than fully round. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, with compact counters and tight apertures that keep the texture dense and energetic. Terminals are clean and engineered, and many joins favor straight segments and clipped transitions, giving forms like O/Q/C a squared-oval feel. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, narrow proportions, creating a consistent, high-contrast silhouette against whitespace.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting where its condensed width and oblique energy can carry impact—headlines, posters, sports and automotive graphics, gaming or tech-facing interfaces, and packaging. It can work for subheads and labels where space is tight, but the dense apertures and narrow proportions make it more effective as a display or UI accent than for long-form reading.
The overall tone reads fast and contemporary, with a sporty, tech-industrial attitude. Its slanted stance and compact shapes suggest motion and efficiency, while the rounded-square geometry keeps it modern and approachable rather than harsh.
The font appears intended to deliver a sleek, speed-oriented look built from rounded-rectangular forms, balancing a mechanical structure with softened corners. Its condensed proportions and consistent stroke weight aim for efficient space use and a crisp, contemporary presence in branding and on-screen contexts.
The design emphasizes verticality and rhythm, producing a strong, uniform color in lines of text. Distinctive squared counters and restrained punctuation contribute to a utilitarian, display-leaning voice that remains legible at larger sizes.
