A condensed oblique sans with heavy, even stroke weight and rounded-rectangle curves that keep counters compact and controlled. Curves are built from superellipse-like arcs, producing soft corners on otherwise blocky forms, while terminals are clean and minimally treated. The overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that maintain clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form copy where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well in sports and performance branding, product packaging, and bold labeling systems that benefit from strong silhouettes and space-efficient widths.
The combination of compression, slant, and dense black shapes gives an assertive, energetic tone. Its rounded geometry tempers the aggression slightly, landing in a contemporary, performance-oriented space that feels fast and purposeful rather than delicate.
Likely intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, pairing a forward-leaning stance with rounded geometric construction for a modern, engineered look. The design prioritizes bold legibility and strong word shapes for attention-driven applications.
The caps and numerals read as especially solid and poster-ready, with small internal counters and a compact footprint. In text, the oblique angle and tight proportions amplify momentum, making the face feel more like a display workhorse than a quiet reading font.
