A condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly packed proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and counters, giving letters a squarish oval geometry rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and minimally finished, with crisp joins and a compact, high-rise lowercase that keeps counters relatively open for the width. Overall rhythm is fast and vertical, with consistent weight distribution and sturdy, blocky silhouettes across letters and figures.
Best used for headlines, short copy, and display settings where impact and speed are desired—such as sports identities, event graphics, poster systems, packaging callouts, and compact signage. It can also work for subheads or UI labels when space is tight and a forceful voice is appropriate.
The tone is brisk and high-energy, combining a sporty, utilitarian attitude with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its steep italic slant and compact forms read as assertive and motion-oriented, well suited to messages that need punch and immediacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact italic sans that feels modern and functional. Its superellipse-based round forms and uniform weight suggest a goal of maximizing presence and legibility in narrow widths while maintaining a cohesive, engineered visual system.
The numerals and capitals follow the same rounded-rect construction, producing strong, stable shapes that hold up at larger sizes. The condensed spacing and forward lean create a strong texture in lines of text, emphasizing momentum and density over airiness.
