A compact, oblique sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly controlled counters. Letterforms are built from squared-off, superellipse-like shapes with softened corners, creating a blocky silhouette without sharp terminals. The set emphasizes verticality and compression, with tall capitals, short extenders, and a steady, forward-leaning rhythm. Curves in C, G, O, and Q read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay broad and sturdy. Numerals and lowercase echo the same compressed, high-impact construction, keeping joins and apertures deliberately tight for a dense texture.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and short, emphatic messaging where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It can work effectively for sports branding, product packaging, and bold UI headers where the oblique posture and dense texture reinforce urgency and energy. It’s best used with generous tracking and ample line spacing when setting longer phrases.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a slanted stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its dense, dark color and squared rounding give it a utilitarian, engineered feel that reads as modern and tough rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, space-efficient voice: a bold oblique sans that stays cohesive through rounded-rectangle geometry and tight, controlled counters. It prioritizes immediacy and visual force, aiming for a contemporary, performance-oriented look.
Because of the narrow proportions and tight openings (notably in forms like a, e, s, and 8), the design delivers maximum impact at display sizes, while smaller sizes may feel crowded. The consistent corner rounding and uniform stroke weight help keep the texture stable across mixed-case and numerals.
