A condensed, oblique sans with tall proportions and a forward-leaning stance. Curves are built from squared-off, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Strokes stay largely uniform, with blunt terminals and occasional wedge-like cuts that sharpen the silhouette. Spacing is compact and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow apertures and sturdy, simplified construction that keeps shapes punchy at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and performance branding, packaging callouts, and wayfinding-style signage where a compact width helps fit more characters per line. It can also work for subheads or labels when you want a tight, energetic typographic color.
The font projects speed and pressure—like signage, racing numbers, or compressed headlines designed to move. Its squared-round geometry adds an engineered, utilitarian tone, while the strong slant and condensed fit push it toward energetic, action-oriented branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans structure. Its superelliptical rounding and blunt terminals suggest a goal of combining industrial sturdiness with a fast, forward-leaning voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same compressed, monoline logic, producing a consistent texture in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same tall, squared-round vocabulary, reading as sturdy and functional with a distinctly condensed footprint.
