A tall, tightly set oblique sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are squared-off into softened corners, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical, engineered feel. The proportions are strongly vertical with compact apertures and short crossbars, producing a dense rhythm in text. Terminals are clean and abrupt, and the numerals follow the same narrow, upright-leaning structure for consistent color across mixed copy.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short promotional copy where a compact, high-energy voice is needed. It can work well for sports and fitness branding, tech-forward packaging, interface labels, and wayfinding where narrow width helps fit text into constrained spaces.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a distinctly athletic and technical flavor. Its forward slant and compressed width create a sense of motion and urgency, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh or purely industrial.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space by combining a condensed structure with an oblique stance and simplified, monoline construction. Its rounded-rect geometry suggests an aim for a modern, engineered look that stays legible and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase forms read especially streamlined and modular, and the lowercase maintains a similar narrow profile with simple, utilitarian shapes. At smaller sizes the tight spacing and compact counters can make long passages feel busy, but it holds together well for short, high-impact lines.
