A condensed, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a strong, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, with minimal modulation and tight interior spaces that keep the texture dense. Uppercase forms are tall and upright in construction despite the slant, while lowercase shows simplified, sturdy shapes; numerals follow the same compact, blocky rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where a compact, high-impact look is needed. It fits sports branding, performance-oriented marketing, and packaging that benefits from a dense, engineered texture. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-driving, with a compressed, high-impact voice that reads as efficient and no-nonsense. Its squared rounding adds a contemporary, engineered feel, balancing aggression with a controlled, technical polish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a narrow footprint, pairing a pronounced slant with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, streamlined display voice.
The strong slant and narrow set create pronounced directional flow in lines of text. Apertures and counters run tight at smaller sizes, while the rounded-square construction helps maintain recognizable silhouettes in display settings.
