A condensed, oblique sans with heavy strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Curves and bowls are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters a squarish, superelliptical feel while still reading smoothly. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and a consistent, forward-leaning rhythm across the set. Capitals are tall and compact, lowercase forms are sturdy and upright in structure despite the slant, and numerals follow the same dense, punchy construction for even texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding systems that need compact impact and a sense of speed. It works well in sports or performance-themed identities, packaging callouts, and short UI labels where space is limited but emphasis is needed. In longer paragraphs it will create a dense, energetic texture, so it’s most effective in short blocks or as a typographic accent.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, with a forward motion that suggests speed and urgency. Its compact density and strong silhouettes read as confident and functional, lending a sporty, industrial edge rather than a delicate or literary one.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact emphasis in tight horizontal space while maintaining clean, geometric clarity. The superelliptical bowls and blunt terminals aim for a modern, engineered feel, and the strong slant reinforces a dynamic, action-oriented voice.
The italic angle is prominent enough to create strong directional momentum, especially in long lines, while the rounded-rectangular construction keeps forms crisp and controlled. The condensed width increases apparent weight and impact, making the face feel louder and more immediate in display settings than in extended reading.
