A condensed, forward-leaning sans with heavy strokes and softly rounded corners. The forms are built from compact, superellipse-like shapes that keep curves tight and counters relatively small, producing a dense, high-ink texture. Stroke contrast stays minimal, terminals read clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is upright in construction but slanted in posture for consistent momentum. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed footprint, giving lines a compact, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or activewear branding, and punchy packaging callouts. It can also work for editorial display lines where a condensed, energetic voice is needed, while longer passages may feel visually intense due to the dense stroke mass.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a speed-driven slant that feels athletic and contemporary. Its dense blackness and tight spacing cues communicate urgency and impact, leaning more toward action and performance than calm neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, forceful sans voice in a space-efficient footprint, pairing rounded superellipse construction with a consistent slant to emphasize motion. It prioritizes strong presence and compact word shapes for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round letters (like O/Q and 0/8/9) maintain a squarish, rounded-rectangle geometry, reinforcing the superellipse character across the set. The alphabet grid suggests steady width discipline overall, but with natural variation in letter shapes that keeps word images lively rather than monospaced.
