A compact, condensed sans with an oblique stance and heavy, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squarish bowls and softened corners rather than circular forms. Stems and joins are thick and stable, with frequent pill-like terminals and tightly controlled apertures that keep counters narrow but legible. Overall spacing is economical, creating a tall, tightly packed rhythm well suited to headline sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where space is tight and impact is needed. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a condensed, energetic voice. For extended reading, it’s most effective at larger sizes or with generous leading due to its compact apertures and dense texture.
The tone reads energetic and slightly retro, with a confident, athletic feel. Its condensed, slanted posture gives text forward motion, while the rounded-square construction keeps the voice friendly rather than harsh. The result feels bold and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, pairing a forward-leaning stance with rounded-square construction for a distinctive, consistent texture. It aims for bold display utility: easy to deploy, highly recognizable, and visually cohesive across letters and numerals.
The lowercase shows a simplified, utilitarian build with compact counters and minimal modulation, helping maintain consistency across sizes. Numerals match the same rounded-rectilinear logic, giving figures a sturdy, sign-like presence. In longer samples the strong vertical rhythm and narrow set emphasize density and impact over airy readability.
