A condensed, obliqued sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes read largely monoline with sturdy terminals and compact counters, producing a dense, ink-rich texture. The uppercase is tall and narrow with tight internal space (notably in C, S, and G), while the lowercase shows a high-waisted rhythm with short extenders and upright, simplified forms. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic, keeping a consistent vertical emphasis and a cohesive, uniform color across lines.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where compact width and strong presence are desirable—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and bold branding wordmarks. It can also work for signage or labels when space is limited, especially at larger sizes where the rounded details and tight counters stay clear.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a slightly retro, poster-like cadence. Its compressed silhouettes and forward slant suggest speed and momentum, giving it a sporty, headline-driven personality. The rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly rather than harsh, even at heavy sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded, superelliptical forms for a modern-retro display voice. It prioritizes a consistent, dense typographic color and quick recognition over airy openness, making it effective for attention-grabbing messaging.
Curves favor superelliptical bends over perfect circles, and joins are kept firm, creating a sturdy, engineered feel. Spacing appears tuned for tight set lines, with forms that remain legible through strong differentiation (e.g., I/J/L and 0/8/9) despite narrow proportions.
