A condensed, forward-leaning sans with monolinear strokes and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and largely unbracketed, with crisp joins and minimal modulation. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with tall ascenders/descenders and streamlined forms that keep character widths compact while preserving clear internal space.
Best suited to headlines and short-form settings where a lot of text must fit into limited horizontal space. It works well for modern branding, packaging, and graphic systems that benefit from a kinetic, condensed voice, and it can be effective in sports or technical-style layouts that want a sense of speed and precision.
The overall tone is fast and utilitarian, combining a contemporary engineered look with a slightly sporty slant. Its narrow stance and crisp construction suggest motion and efficiency, making it feel focused, direct, and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans with a consistent, geometric construction and a built-in sense of forward motion. The rounded-rectangle curve language balances friendliness with a controlled, engineered finish for contemporary display typography.
Uppercase shapes emphasize straight-sided bowls and squared-off rounds (notably in forms like O/Q), while lowercase maintains simplified, compact constructions that read cleanly at display sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, oblique logic, with open forms and straightforward silhouettes that match the alphabet’s tight cadence.
