A tightly condensed, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and a heavy, even stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with occasional tapered joins where diagonals meet. The overall rhythm is upright in structure but driven by a consistent italic shear, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or performance-themed branding, and condensed display lines where space is limited. It can also work for signage or packaging callouts that need strong presence and quick recognition, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The face projects speed and momentum, with a no-nonsense, engineered feel. Its compact width and sturdy shapes read as assertive and functional, suited to messaging that needs to feel energetic and direct. The rounded construction keeps the tone contemporary rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a smooth, contemporary silhouette. The rounded-rectilinear curves and consistent slant suggest a focus on speed, clarity, and a modern industrial aesthetic.
Uppercase forms stay relatively narrow and vertical while diagonals (like in K, V, W, X) add sharp directional accents. Lowercase shows simplified, single-storey constructions with generous interior rounding, helping counters remain open despite the condensed build. Numerals follow the same compact, slanted stance and remain visually sturdy at a glance.
