A condensed oblique sans with compact proportions and squared-off curves that read as rounded-rectangle forms. Strokes are sturdy and uniform, with minimal modulation and crisp terminals. Counters tend to be tight and vertically oriented, and many curves transition through subtly flattened arcs rather than perfect circles, giving letters a streamlined, engineered feel. The rhythm is punchy and dense, with strong vertical emphasis and consistent weight that holds up well in short bursts of text.
Best used for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium display copy where density and impact are priorities. It fits sports and performance branding, industrial or tech-forward packaging, and directional or promotional graphics that benefit from a compact, energetic voice. In longer passages, its tight forms and oblique stance will read most comfortably at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is fast, determined, and functional—more performance-oriented than friendly. Its slanted stance and compact width suggest motion and urgency, while the squared curvature adds a technical, industrial edge. The result feels contemporary and assertive, suited to messaging that needs to look confident and driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed footprint, combining a forward slant with squared-round geometry for a contemporary, high-energy look. Its sturdy, uniform stroke behavior and compact counters prioritize clarity and punch in display-driven settings.
Round characters like O and 0 appear more like softened rectangles, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are steep and taut, reinforcing a sense of speed. Uppercase forms feel commanding and poster-ready, while the lowercase remains clean and utilitarian with simple, compact shapes.
