A compact, right-slanted sans with heavy, low-contrast strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded, squarish forms, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, with a steady rhythm and relatively tight internal spacing that keeps words dense and blocky. Uppercase shapes read tall and efficient, while lowercase maintains a straightforward structure with sturdy joins and compact apertures.
Well-suited to attention-grabbing headlines, poster typography, and branding systems that need a compact, energetic voice. It can also work for punchy UI labels or signage where space is limited and strong emphasis is desired, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a compressed, forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and emphasis. Its rounded-rectangle curves add a contemporary, engineered flavor—confident and functional rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a forward-leaning posture with rounded, superelliptical construction for a modern, engineered look. It prioritizes bold presence and momentum over softness or extended reading comfort.
The slant is consistent across cases and numerals, creating a cohesive, unified texture in longer lines. The combination of heavy weight and condensed width produces strong color and clear figure/ground separation, especially in headlines and short bursts of text.
