A condensed, forward-leaning sans with sturdy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squared, softened corners, giving counters and bowls a superellipse feel, while terminals stay clean and largely flat. The forms are tightly set and tall, with compact apertures and a consistent rhythm that emphasizes verticals; numerals follow the same blocky, rounded logic for a cohesive texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where impact and momentum matter: headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, and bold promotional graphics. Its condensed build can help fit long titles into narrow spaces, and the clean, rounded-square geometry also works well for signage and packaging that needs a modern, industrial clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with an unmistakable sense of motion from the oblique stance. Its compact, squared-round shapes read as technical and utilitarian, suggesting speed, efficiency, and a no-nonsense modern voice.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that feels fast and contemporary, using rounded-square geometry to stay legible and distinctive. The oblique angle and dense proportions reinforce a sense of speed and emphasis for attention-grabbing typography.
The design leans on simplified geometry—especially in round letters—so it maintains a strong silhouette at a distance and a dense, even color in paragraphs. The combination of tight width and softened corners balances toughness with approachability.
