A tightly condensed oblique sans with dense, dark strokes and minimal modulation. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a slightly squarish, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional soft rounding; joins are sturdy and compact, producing a strong vertical rhythm. Spacing is economical and the overall silhouette feels tall and compressed, with narrow apertures and robust, simplified shapes that hold together well at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or streetwear branding, and promotional graphics where a compact oblique voice is helpful. It can also work for labels and signage that need strong emphasis in limited horizontal space; for extended reading, the tight apertures and dense color may feel heavy.
The slanted, compact build and heavy presence create a sense of speed and pressure—confident, assertive, and a bit mechanical. Its squared-rounded curves add a contemporary, engineered tone, making the style feel more athletic and utilitarian than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal width while maintaining a clean sans structure. Its superelliptical rounding and blunt construction suggest a goal of modern, engineered clarity with a fast, forward-leaning stance for branding and display typography.
Uppercase forms read particularly rigid and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps the same compressed skeleton and rounded-rectangle bowls for consistency. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly tight proportions and sturdy, high-impact silhouettes.
