A condensed, forward-leaning sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and compact internal counters. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with rounded terminals and subtly flattened joins that keep forms crisp even at narrow widths. The rhythm is tall and tightly spaced, with a consistent slant and slightly varying glyph widths that add a lively, mechanical cadence. Numerals and capitals are similarly narrow and vertical, maintaining a clean, poster-ready silhouette.
This face is well suited to headlines, branding lockups, sports or event graphics, and packaging where space is limited but impact is needed. It performs best at medium to large sizes where its condensed proportions and rounded-rect geometry can stay clear and intentional.
The overall tone feels fast, athletic, and attention-grabbing—confident without becoming decorative. Its compressed stance and continuous slant suggest motion and urgency, giving text a contemporary, punchy presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern condensed italic voice with durable, rounded-rect forms—balancing speed and friendliness while maximizing density for display typography.
The uppercase set reads especially streamlined, while the lowercase shows simple, utilitarian shapes that preserve clarity despite tight proportions. Round letters take on a squared-off oval structure, and the figures follow the same condensed, robust construction for cohesive display use.
