A compact, right-slanted sans with heavy stroke weight and tightly controlled proportions. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and curves a smooth superelliptical feel, while terminals stay clean and unadorned. The rhythm is assertive and forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals, broad curves, and minimal modulation; spacing is on the tight side, reinforcing a dense, headline-ready texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, athletic or streetwear branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage where density and momentum are desirable. It can also work for subheads and UI labels when a strong, condensed emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and action-oriented, with a fast, contemporary presence that reads as athletic and attention-grabbing. Its slant and condensed build suggest speed and immediacy, making it feel confident and promotional rather than quiet or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a forward slant with rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, energetic voice. It prioritizes presence and legibility at display sizes, aiming for a cohesive, brandable texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Round letters (like O/C/G) maintain consistent, soft-cornered curvature, while diagonals (A/V/W/X) appear crisp and stable, helping it hold up in all-caps settings. Numerals match the same compact, sturdy construction, creating a cohesive typographic color across mixed letter-and-number compositions.
